N/A	N/A	Levi Deyo petitioned the Court of Common Pleas to release him from jail in consideration of the 1801 Bill for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, where he was imprisoned for unpaid debts. Included is an accounting of his unsold property, including a “Negro called Peet” and “¼ of a Negro wench named Dolly.”	Ulster County Clerk's Office, Kingston, Ulster County, New York	View additional document dated: 1802-09-20	Box: 88-00865, Folder: Supervisor’s Minutes 1793-1805

Perhaps a copy of the earlier document regarding Levi Deyo’s appeal to be released from debtors jail under the 1801 debt-relief bill. Contains same information about Peet, as well as details of the provenance of his “¼” claim on Dolly - apparently his wife was willed partial ownership of the female slave in the will of Levi Pawling. Dolly is mentioned to have an “act of trover” (basically, legal way to reclaim property unjustly taken and used by another) entered against her, indicating that there is some sort of custody battle between either Deyo and his fellow shareholders, or the court and such.
