1775-1803 British Mercantile Claims
Claim of McCall, Smellie & Company (p. 167]:
Ludwell Grymes, Orange. £39.1.3, Zachariah Burnley, security .
Claim of Geo: McCall & Company [Page 168 -71):
Ludwell Grymes, £65.15.11-1/2. Died in Orange in Feb. 1795 intestate. His administrator was his son John D.
Grymes who now lives in Albemarle County. On 14 Nov. 1781 Ludwell Grymes after having made provision for the payment of all his just debts by the sale of a tract of land to Walker Maury, proceeded to divide his whole estate among his children, reserving a left estate in the share which was allotted to his son John D. Grymes. The land sold for the purpose of paying his debts was previously encumbered by a mortgage to secure the payment of about £400 to John Glassel and Hunter and Glassel but it was thought sufficient to discharge that sum as well as all other debts for which Mr. Grymes was bound. This land was sold under a decree of the Court of Orange and produced upwards of £1300. The bond given by the purchaser to Ludwell Grymes contained an endorsement specifying the debts for which provision was to be made by the sale of
the land. Suit was instituted on the bond since the peace in the old General Court and after establishment
of District Courts in 1789 the papers in the cause were sent to the Williamsburg District within the jurisdiction
of which Walker Maury, the defendant, resided. About 1792 the suit abated by the death of the defendant.
The bond was originally put into the hands of Edmd. Randolph, Esqr. , but upon his removal to Philadelphia to undertake the office of Attorney General for the United States, he lodged his papers with a gentleman in Williamsburg, who dying before his return to Virginia, the bond could never be found. The Court of Orange has lately decreed that the surplus money should be paid to the children of Walker Maury, upon giving good security to refund in case claims should hereafter appear. The inventory of Ludwell Grymes' estate after his death amounted to rather more than £170, all of which has been duly disbursed by his administrator. If we except the provision made by the sale of the land and the left estate which Ludwell Grymes held in part of the slaves, he has never been able since 14 Nov. 1781 to pay these debts.
