description

Summary

Summary: Crow, the guardian of Mary Harlan, retained Lincoln and Herndon and petitioned the court to set aside dower and partition approximately 647 acres of Silas Harlan's estate among his heirs. However, before the court issued a decree, Crow received an injunction to stop Harlan's widow's husband from cutting timber from the land. The court then set aside dower for Harlan's widow and partitioned the remaining property among Harlan's five children. After the decree, Elijah Harlan and Wineman requested that the court set aside the decree because tracts of land that they had purchased from Fletcher, the administrator of Silas Harlan's estate, were included in the dower and partition. The court exempted their purchases from the original decree and re-divided the property. Lincoln and Herndon received $20 for their legal services.
