|a The bill alleged that a slave, Wesley, was born the property of William Pleasant in 1811 and was given by a parol gift to the plaintiff, Lucy Griffin, his daughter. In 1817 Lucy and her husband William Griffin removed with Wesley from Caswell county to nearby Rockingham, but fearing that Wesley might be seized for William's debts he was sent back to Caswell to Lucy's brother John Pleasant. William Pleasant subsequently executed a bill of sale to John for him to hold Wesley in trust for Lucy. In 1836 William Griffin and William Pleasant both died; James Pleasant, William Pleasant's son, became his administrator. John Pleasant made out a deed to Lucy Griffin setting out the history of Wesley's ownership and conveying him to Lucy absolutely. Lucy then enjoyed possession of him until he was taken from her by the defendants James Pleasant and William Pleasant, Jr on the pretence that Lucy had no title. The bill further alleged that Lucy had applied to various members of the Pleasant family for the deed of gift from William Sr to John Pleasant, but that they had all conspired to withhold it from her. John Pleasant deposed in his answer that his father had never executed to him any deed concerning Wesley and that after his return from Rockingham to Caswell Wesley was kept by his father notoriously as his own possession. Two defendants deposed that after William Pleasant's death Wesley ran away to the employment of one William Warren, but that they recovered him and brought him back. The Supreme Court found that the original paper spoken of in the bill as a deed of sale for Wesley from William Pleasant to John Pleasant was not in fact of that character. Bill dismissed.
