Suit brought in U. S. Court for the Seventh Circuit and District of Eastern Tennessee, Knoxville, against Isaac Baker. Major issues included disputed tracts of land in Tazewell Co., Va. and Sullivan Co., Tennessee, the sale of forty head of cattle, and the ownership of a slave named Walter Waterford, Adam Waterford's brother. The respondent died in 1830 and the plaintiff died c. 1835. The heirs, David Waterford and his siblings and John Baker, reopened the case in 1835. The case was resolved in the plaintiff's favor.
