Title A name given to the resource August 2, 1855 Complaint by Andrew Thayer on behalf of Letitia Carson, two pages Description An account of the resource Two pages long, this document was written by Jas H. Slater, clerk of the District Court of the Oregon Territory on August 2nd, 1855 marking Leitita's second court case against Greenberry Smith. The first page of this complaint cements Andrew Thayer as Letitia's attorney and illustrates her position against Greenberry Smith in this second lawsuit. In this subsequent battle, Letitia is fighting for compensation for her cattle, which she raised, and which were taken from her when Greenberry became the administrator of the late David Carson's estate. The document states that Letitia Carson brings on the suit because she "lawfully possessed &amp; owned twenty-nine head of cattle consisting of cows heifers, steers, &amp; claves, which said Cattle were worth the just &amp; full sum of two thousand dollars." Greenberry took and sold some cattle but also kept and converted them for his own use. The complaint is continued on the second page.<br /><br /><span>On the second page, this document continues establishing Letitia Carson's second court case against Greenberry Smith; this time for compensation for her cattle. This second page confirms Andrew Thayer as her attorney and justifies his decision as he believes she is owed two thousand dollars for her cattle. His belief is based on several individuals who lived near the Carson's homestead when Greenberry converted the cattle. The document is dated August 2nd, 1855, and signed by Jas H. Slater, clerk of the District Court of the Oregon Territory, and Andrew Thayer, Letitia's attorney. </span> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource District Court Benton County Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Oregon State Archives Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available LCLP Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1855-08-02 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Bob Zybach Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright, Public Domain Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Legal Document Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant David Carson Estate, Territory of Oregon, County of Benton, Soap Creek Valley Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource JPEG image Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Oregon-29
