In Equity Ninety Six District, 1818 - Box 70, Package 3587 Joel Culpepper and Ann Elizabeth his wife vs Jacob Tyler & Joseph Culpepper, Exors of John Tyler, decd. The State of South Carolina Ninety Six District

To the Honorable the Judges of the court of Equity of said State Humbly complaining. Shew unto your honors, your orator Joel Culpepper and oratrix Ann Elizabeth Culpepper his wife which said Ann Elizabeth is the daughter of John Tyler deceased late of Lexington district in the State aforesaid.

That the said John Tyler father of your oratrix being possessed of a considerable personal estate, duly made and executed his last will and testament in writing bearing date on or about the 25th day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six and thusly, after directing the payment of all his just debts, funeral expenses and the charges of his last will & testament.

Gave and bequathed to your oratrix Ann Elizabeth and Jacob Joseph Tyler his only two children all his estate to be equally divided between them, and also directed that such property as would not be of present use to his said children, should be sold at public auction by his executors to the highest bidder and ?

a lone with interest from the day of sale and further directed that if either of his negroes should not choose to live with his said children that such negroe or negroes be allowed to choose a master and that     his executors should sell them to the best advantage for his children, all which will more fully and at large appear by reference to the said will, a copy whereof is herewith filed and marked Exhibit A.     

and your orator and oratrix further shew that the said testator appointed Jacob Tyler, John Wolfe and Joseph Culpepper his executors and shortly after making & publishing his last will and testament the said John Tyler departed this life without altering or reworking his said will; and your orator and oratrix furthur shew that the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper proved the said will & took upon themselves the ? and execution of the same, the said John Wolfe refusing to act and by virtue of the said will the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper posesed themselves of all the personal estate of said John Tyler to the amount of three thousand Dollars or other large sums: And your orator and oratrix further shew that the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper sold all the personal estate of the said testator and received the proceeds of such sale to a large amount

And your orator further shews that on or about the 8th day of March 1807, he intermarried with your oratrix Ann Elizabeth Tyler, whereby your orator in Right of his wife is become entitled to one half of the estate of said John Tyler: And your orator & oratrix     furthur charge that the said Executors hired out and received the hire of a Negro of said estate called Commodore Tom and have rendered no account of the same: And your orator and oratrix furthur charge that they are entitled to one half of said estate or the amount sales thereof with interest thereon from the dates of the sale and also to one half of the hire of said Negro and interest thereon:

Your orator and oratrix furthur shew that since their intermarriage aforesaid they have often applied to the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper in a friendly manner and desired them to give your orator & oratrix an account of the estate of said testator and that they might pay to your orator & oratrix what should appear due to them in right of your oratrix, and your orator and oratrix well hoped the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper would have complied with such thus reasonable request as in justice and equity they ought to have done.

But now so thus may it please your honors, the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper under various pretenses refuse to account with and pay over to your orator & oratrix what they are justly entitled unto: In tender consideration whereof and forasmuch as matters of this nature are most profuly cognizable and relievable in a court of Equity.

To the end therefore that the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper may upon their several[or sworn?] consoral oaths true and perfect answers make to all and singular the promises in as full and as ample a manner as if the same were here again repeated &     ? and that the same Jacob Tyler & Joseph Culpepper may set forth, whether the said John Tyler your oratrix's father did not make such last will & testament as herein before is set forth bearing date at or about the time in this bill stated and whether the said John Tyler the testator did not shortly thereafter departed this life without altering or reworking the said will?

And whether upon his death the said Jacob Tyler & Joseph Culpepper did not prove the same as Executors thereof and whether by virtue thereof they did not possess themselves of all the estate of the said testator and whether they did not sell the same and that they may set forth a true and particular account of the same and of the amount of sale[?] and how the same has been disposed of & whether they did not hire out the said Negro called Commodore Tom & receive the said hire & how much & whether the said John Wolf did not refuse to act or qualify under the said will

And that the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper may be decreed to come to a just & fair account with your orator and oratrix of the estate of the said John Tyler & of the hire of the said Negro called Commodore Tom and that they may pay to your orator & oratrix what upon such amount shall appear to be due to them with interest thereon. And what your orator and oratrix may have such furthur and other relief in the premises to your Honors shall deem meet. May it please your Honors to grant unto your orator & oratrix the writ of Suppana to be directed to the said Jacob Tyler and Joseph Culpepper thusly commanding them at a certain day and under a certain penalty to be issued personally to be & appear in this honorable court thus & there to answer the premises & to stand to and abide such order and decree there in as to your honors shall deem agreeable to equity & good conscience----And your orator & oratrix shall ever pray re.
