Damariscotta, Maine: 1849 Writ of Attachment: George Carlton; Jacob L. Shuman; Hirah Cox; G. W. Philbrick; Asa F. Hall, Esq.

 

1849 writ of attachment in favor of George Carlton against Jacob L. Shuman and Hirah Cox, both of Damariscotta, Maine; signed by Deputy Sheriff George W. Philbrick. The name Asa F. Hall, Esq., of Wiscasset, Maine, appears on the reverse.

• George Carlton - perhaps Ship Carpenter George Carleton (abt 1819-)

• Jacob L. Shuman - possibly Jacob Ludwig Shuman (1813-1880)

• Hirah Cox - perhaps Hirah Church Cox (1817-1895)

• G. W. Philbrick, Deputy Sheriff - perhaps George W. Philbrick (1815-1888)

• Asa F. Hall, Esq. - perhaps Asa Foster Hall (1784-1875), a court officer in Wiscasset, Maine.

This writ may have involved a vessel, as I found several other cases involving these men, some of whom appear to have been involved in the ship building industry.
