Separate Answer in Thompson et ux. v. Broadwell et al, [Law papers].

Summary: At the time of his death, Moses Broadwell possessed a sizable estate. Michael Thompson and his wife Mary Jane Thompson, who was a granddaughter of Moses Broadwell, claimed that Charles Broadwell, John Broadwell, and other heirs of Moses Broadwell embezzled large amounts of money from the estate and hid the money from the administrators. The Thompsons sued Broadwell and others for an accounting and a fair distribution of the estate. John Broadwell and Charles Broadwell retained Lincoln and Herndon, denied the allegations, and pleaded the statute of limitations. Lewis, the administrator of Moses Broadwell's estate, and William Broadwell filed separate cross-bills. Several defendants defaulted. The court continued the case for several years before striking the case from the docket. Lincoln and Herndon received $10 for their legal services.
