Abstract:

Former slaves, Louis Cory and wife Jane, had two children: Gatsy A. Corey and Jordan Corey. Spire Wethington claimed Jane belonged to him when the children were born and Benjamin Corey claimed both of them. Spire Wethington applied for apprenticeship of the children who were in his possession. The Court gave the children to their father, Louis Corey, to take care of them and keep them out of County care.
