Thomas Quigley, a prominent businessman, financer, and farmer of Bowling Green, Ky., writes Malcom McNeill in Christian Co., Ky. regarding debt collection. He states that he met with Mr. Hines whose brother-in-law, Mr. Lorton, is indebted to McNeill. He learned that Lorton moved to Hadford in Ohio County, Ky. Hines further informed him that he "took a mortgage" from Lorton "on one old negro woman & mare & some tools" to "secure payment of the notes in question." Hines suggested that McNeill file suit in the Warren Chancery Court to recover the money owed him and Quigley offers his assistance in any course of action McNeill decides to pursue.
