Married for almost forty-seven years, Piety Tisdale prays for a divorce and alimony from her husband William Tisdale.<\/strong> Piety informs the court that she and William lived together happily for fifteen years, she explains, but then William began “to carry on speculations in negroes & commenced the indulgence of dissipated habits, which grew upon him slowly but regularly for the span of fifteen years or thereabouts.” Eventually, she says, he became “brutal & ferocious,” a drunk and a spendthrift, finally abandoning her and their children, one them a crippled boy, altogether.<\/p>\n

After two months of marriage, Mary E. Moore testifies, her husband “cruelly and heartlessly abandoned her, and soon thereafter left the State.”<\/strong> She blames her husband’s conduct on the machinations of his mother abetted by his uncle. Richard Moore is possessed of a comfortable estate, including a large tract of land and eight slaves. She fears he will liquidate his property in an attempt to keep her from receiving alimony. She seeks a writ of sequestration to prevent him from selling, or disposing of his property, and asks for a divorce and alimony.<\/p>\n
