[This is an "extra" set of names for those who've thought the others have been too easy. We will return tomorrow to just posting one image a day, but I thought Transcriber fans and followers might be interested in this little list.]
These men were apparent neighbors of William and Elijah Royce/Reese who were accused of slaughtering two pigs that were not theirs in Fleming County, Kentucky, in 1827.
We're going to start a series on the court records in this case beginning with the next issue of Casefile Clues. Can you read these names?
David W.Early, Wm (somebody), Daniel Fanton, Benedict Hobbs, Thomas Jones, John Howe, John Jones, Robert Morrison, James Norwood, John Donaldson, Joseph Davis, William Walker. John D. Stockton, deputy for Selathael Fitch. (The name Salathiel is a last name in one of my lines).
