Lawrence Slaughter, Culpeper. £1 . 2.0.
He removed to Spotsylvania County about 1792, where he now resides . At the peace and until 1789 he possessed a very valuable tract of land in Culpeper County called Milton which would now sell for about $10,000, several slaves and other personal property. Though he was some what involved in debt, yet there was no difficulty of recovering money from him by process of law. He was one of the securities of his brother James Slaughter when he qualified as high Sheriff of Culpeper County and who entirely failed about 1789. At the time James Slaughter failed, all his securities found it convenient to pursue the same plan in order that they might avert the storm which was gathering around them. Lawrence Slaughter in order to cover his property made arrangements with Henry Mitchell, agent for McCall, Smellie & Co., by which a considerable debt was prosecuted to a judgment and the whole of his estate sold by execution to satisfy it. The estate, both real and personal , was purchased by his son John Slaughter who now holds possession of it in Culpeper County. The principal reasons for selecting this debt were that it was the only one of sufficient magnitude to afford a plausible pretext to cover the estate from other claims and that, as British debts were not generally recoverable, greater indulgences would be given by the agent for the creditor. Although the plaintiffs might have enforced a sale for ready money or at farthest at three months' credit, yet a much longer time wasgiven to John Slaughter for the payment of the purchase money. The records of Culpeper will prove that long after the sale of Lawrence Slaughter's estate by execution, suits were brought by Henry Mitchell against John Slaughter for conditional sums which were known to be on account of property purchased at the sales. Lawrence Slaughter is now in possession of some slaves and a tract of land but they are generally said to be the property of his children and not liable to be taken by execution to pay his debts.

Capt. Wm . Ball, Culpeper. £10.11.7-1/2 by bond, Culpeper Store; £5.1.7 by account , Fredericksburg
Store; £548.14.0 by judgment Fredericksburg Court, Fredericksburg Store. He now lives in Culpeper County
but has been reputed insolvent since 1788 or 1789. He is generally considered a very honest man and has notwithstanding his general insolvency paid several debts. It is, however, very doubtful at this day whether he is really insolvent or only nominally so. He was one of the securities for Jas. Slaughter of Culpeper when he qualified as high sheriff of that county. About 1789 Jas. Slaughter entirely failed in consequence of his being high sheriff of Culpeper County in 1786 and 1787 and his securities in order to prevent the same burthen falling upon them pursued the same plan. They were his brothers Lawrence Slaughter, Robt. Slaughter and Wm. Ball, all of whom were men possessed of considerable estates at the time of their engagement for him, but all of them failed at the same time . Wm. Ball suffered his property to be sold by execution for some inconsiderable debts, which property was purchased by his relation Capt. John Hackley who resided in his family and who has been the nominal owner of it ever since. But as they both live on the same plantation and in the same house it may yet be considered an undivided possession. Capt. Hackley has since the transfer of the property of Wm. Ball to him paid many debts formerly due from him and it was never believed they had any other object in view than to prevent the Commonwealth from sweeping the whole of it away to pay the demands against Jas. Slaughter for whom Wm. Ball was bound as security. These debts to Cunningham & Company have not yet been paid and Wm. Ball is still desirous to pay them if he could obtain some indulgence as to the time. If this indulgence had been given it is probable much of the money might ere this time have been received but the creditors doubtless expecting compensation from the United States have pursued legal measures to coerce payment and have obtained what alone might be expected, the return of the marshal upon the execution issued from the Federal Court of "no effects ." Had they instituted a suit to set aside the conveyance as fraudulent, I think it is highly probable that they would have succeeded . [Long discussion of the legal situation regarding such frauds.]²
