About This Item
[Warren County, Ohio], 1805. Small broadside, 6-1/4" x 7-1/2". Partly printed document, completed in ink manuscript, signed in ink by David Sutton, Clerk. Paper and wax seal on recto, docketed on verso. Light tanning and foxing, center fold with two short splits at ends. Very Good.
The Warren County Special Court of Common Pleas was established in May 1803; David Sutton was elected as the clerk pro tempore. Sutton [1766-1834], originally from New Jersey, was one of the earliest settlers in the County. He served as clerk from 1803 to 1815, was a representative in Ohio's Legislature in 1815, 1818 and 1823; a captain in the War of 1812; and owned a tavern in Deerfield.
Judge Francis Dunlavy [1761-1839] was a principal drafter of Ohio's first Constitution, and an Ohio senator. George Harlan, the first sheriff of Warren County, served from 1803 to 1805. He was also County Commissioner, Justice of the Peace, and Associate Judge of Common Pleas. William McCann, a farmer and defendant in this law suit, later moved to Indiana, where he opened a business of brickmaking. Jacob Woolf, the plaintiff, was a farmer.
