1Nancy Barefoot's Petition 39-1825

To the Honourable the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee now in 
session-The petion of Nancy Barefoot most Humbly showeth that your petitioner 
intermarried with Dillon W. H. Barefoot in the year 1817.  That about six months 
after our marriage and before we became housekeepers, my said husband took to 
rambling, and your petitioner hearing of him at Knoxville went from her fathers 
house in Maury County to that place in hopes to engage his attention and induce 
him to settle   he promised to do so and we settled in sequatchie valley, but he 
having no disposition to provide a living by industry I soon became in a distressed 
situation from poverty and went and returned to my fathers house again in Maury 
County.  In the course of last year I made another attempt to settle with him & try 
to make our living but within a few months he determined again to ramble.  I once 
more returned to my father, he having declared his intention to go to South America 
and join the patriots & your petitioner not having heard of him in the course of 
the year, and being fully persuaded from former experience that he has no disposition 
to locate himself anywhere or use any exertions to support a wife and child, most 
humbly prays that your Honourable body will grant her divorce from her said husband, 
and your petitioner as in duty bound will ___  pray.
                                                 Nancy Barefoot

We the undersigned subscribers do certify that we have been acquainted with Dillon 
Barefoot about the time he was married to Nancy Choate, the above petitioner, that 
he staid in the neighbourhood but a few months after his marriage, and after that
