77a - 1803, District Court, Ohio County. John Caldwell summoned to answer JOSEPH EASTWOOD in a plea of Breach of Covenant $5000 damage, 7 April 1802. Article of Agreement between John Caldwell, of Ohio County and JOSEPH EASTWOOD, of Green County, Pennsylvania, whereby Caldwell sold to EASTWOOD 460 acres on Muddy Run and Middle Island Creek adjoining lands of William Beth and Thomas Weakly. EASTWOOD agreed to pay $480 in the following manner: one half on 1 November next and the other one half on 1 November 1798. Signed by both and witnessed by James Wallace and James Caldwell, 14 May 1798. EASTWOOD paid as agreed, but Caldwell had not delivered the deed and therefore EASTWOOD brings suit. Receipt signed by John Caldwell to JOSEPH EASTWOOD for $400, in part payment for lands sold to EASTWOOD on Middle Island Creek, 21 October 1801. Alexander Caldwell secured Bail Bond for John Caldwell, 8 September 1802. May 1803 term of court, "We the jury find for the plaintiff $860 in damages," John Ragoner, foreman.
