To the Honorable Henry M. Ford Judge of Franklin Circuit Court
Humbly complaining showeth unto your Honor, your oratrix Mary Jane Durham a fenu?
covert who sues by Benjamin Durham her next friend, that she is now about seventy
year sof age, infirm in body, and is now & has for a long number of years
been the wife of one William Durham a citizen of this county, to whom she was
lawfully married. That she has made a large family of children, all of whom,
with one exception are now grown.
Your complainant further represents that she and her youngest daughter are now
homeless and without any means of support except such as friends & her children
give her; and that this is in consequence of the cruel treatment of her said
husband who has actually driven her away from his house. That for sometime prior
to this last cruel act of her said husband, he had been cruel to her in numberless
ways, so much so sthat one of her sons had frequently to stay around the house
to shield & protect her from the brutal assaults of her husband who upon
various occasions would have done her serious bodily harm, but for its timely
interferance of her son.
Complainant further represents that she has stood up under this trouble as long
as it is possible, and now when driven from her home and shelter, she is forced
to apply to the court for relief.
She charges that this trouble and brutal treatment was caused by her protesting
bitterly against the conduct of her husband, who was keeping his mistress and
concubine in the house where complainant lived, and that the neighbors having
became so incensed of such conduct, actually drove the woman from their community.
Complainant represents that she has always been an affectionate and true wife
to the said Wm durham, never having done anything to justify this total abandonment
and cruel treatment which she has received at his hands. That as above stated
she and her youngest daughter are now wanderers, driven away from home &
within the necessary food & clothing to protect them from want and suffereing.
That her said husband has attempted by both intimidation and bribes to prevent
her sons who are grown men, from contributing to her wants.
That her husband is a man of considerable means, holding horses, ___ , hogs,
& a considerable landed estate lying in Franklin Co., on poplar Creek, one
tract containg 87 acres, 3 roads & 5 poles, the same conveyed to said Durham
by Jeremiah Barbour & wife by deed of trust in Clerks Office of this county
(D.B. 25 f 208) also a tract of 96 acres of land in said Poplar Creek the same
purchased by him of E. Mofollom, with in all come ten or fifteen hundred dollars.
Which is force from land except perhaps a small balance due Wm Brooks and Geo.
Kisler, amounting to some $50.80 or $75.00 which sum is secured by deed of trust
executor by said Wm. Durham on 31 Dec 1880 to George Houseman trustee of recent
in Clerks Office of this County (DB 34 p 30 ) a copy of which is filed as a part
hereof marked A.
Complainant charges that her bushband has permanently and totally deserted her
and forbidden her returning to the house he had driven her from and that his
extreme cruelty to her comes render it impossible for her to live with him in
any personal safety.
That her said husband is a very drunken man, perfectly irresponsible for his
acts when in that condition, that he has been guilty of adultery and has totally
violated every duty & obligation resting upon him as a husband.
Complainant charges taht she is entitled to a divorce from her said husband and
also entitled to alimony, she therefore prays that the said Wm Durham, George
Houseman trustee as aforesaid, Wm Brooks & Geo. T. Kisler may be made parties
to this Bill and required to answer it's charges and statement herein.
May the said Wm Durham be required to pay complainant a sum sufficient to carry
on this suit & for her maintenance and support during the term the same is
perusing.
May she be decreed a divorce from the said Wm Durham, & after making provision
for the payment of the balance due under said deed of trust may the court settle
upon complainant a reasonable protion of her husbands estate.
May all necessary accounts be taken - grant Counsel unto __ : call such action
further & general relief as the nature of this case requires of equity seems
much as he will ever pray of.
