This document was filed at the , Illinois, circuit court in 1842. It remained in the custody of the circuit court until at least 1968, when Richard and Pamela Price made a photocopy of it. A portion of the case documents and several other Hancock County records had been acquired by Pearl Gordon Vestal, a local historian from Hamilton, Illinois, by 1958. After her death, her family sold them to manuscript collector David C. Martin in 1973. In 1975, Martin sold the court records to the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University. Later that year, library staff merged the Martin acquisition with two distinct document accretions from manuscript collectors Steven Barnett and Peter Crawley.
