Horton Vs. Roark Envelope 120



County Court - Monongalia
30 March 1801
Elihu Horton and John W. Dean
vs.
William Roark
Bond--Attachment Bond

...are held and firmly bound to William Roark...
$500.

Elihu Horton mentioned in the article below:

“Earthenware at the said Foulk’s Pothouse in Morgantown” was his method of paying for land."

"Whatever Foulk’s financial status, it could not have been helped by his frequent legal difficulties.  Charges against him include...wife beating, suing to avoid paying $50 owed for a bet on a horse race, suing to restrain his father-in-law, Elihu Horton, from providing shelter for Horton’s battered daughter, perjury, and two instances of fathering a baseborn child. He was even sued by his father for debts. Hough reports that in order to make lead glaze, Foulk stripped the lead liner from tea chests and oxidized the lead in an open iron pan. It is tempting to suggest that lead poisoning from this practice contributed to his egregious behavior."
