David Meade papers, 1804-1806.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42622529

This collection contains materials relating to a legal dispute between Meade and a former business partner, Joseph Coppinger. The collection includes information on a failed business venture contracted by Meade and Coppinger. The two entered a partnership to open and operate a brewery and malt house on Meade's Jessamine County property. Present are two letters from Coppinger, outlining the articles of the agreement and related details. These letters concern the failure to get the operations running. There is also a court document filed with Jessamine Circuit Court by Meade initiating a suit against Coppinger. Another document, dated 1806, apparently resolved the litigation. This agreement was made and signed by Meade and Coppinger's representative, the Rev. Stephen Theodore Badin. The agreement bound Meade and Coppinger to drop their claims and lawsuits against each other. Badin, a Frenchman, was one of the first Roman Catholic priests sent to Kentucky. He was also the first Roman Catholic priest ordained in the United States. The collection also contains a photograph of this document.
