Description

A three-page legal document recording a final hearing and decree in a chancery suit held in Kanawha County (then Virginia). The case involves Moses Keeney (Complainant) against Newton Gardner, Thomas Foster, and others (Defendants) regarding a land dispute. The court ruled that Moses Keeney held a "good equitable title" to a specific tract of land on Cabin Creek, originally described in a 1820 bond between William Grant and Charles Littlepage. The land is detailed as being near the "mouth of Coal Fork" and including the area known as "Cane Bottom."
