Signed Nancy (x) Ferrell
Defendant Samuel Taylor under oath deposes and states that he built houses, farmed the land for 12 years, and constructed many improvements for his wives and he therefore wishes not to be removed from the property and does not wish to sell the improvements.
Defendant Mary Preece under oath deposes and states that she has no other house to live in at the present time and sees no reason to move since her child was fathered by Samuel Taylor after a proper marriage ceremony after the order of the Cherokee Nation.
