Randall-
I am very near finishing the transcription of some of the documents on Case 1500, i.e., arrest warrants, depositions. What I can tell you is that Ficklin is named in the initial complaint and this summons directed by the clerk of the Court to be served on the defendants as follows:

The Commonwealth of Kentucky to the Sheriff of Johnson County

You are commanded to summons Henry Jayne, Daniel Jayne, William Jayne, Henry Sparks, Henry Calvin (Colvin), Linelsly (Lindsey) Thompson, (John) May Hamilton, Reason Lyon, Marion Lyon, John Ficklin, John T. Williams to answer on the first day of the next December term of the Johnson Circuit Court a judgement filied against them in said court by William Davis. And warn them that upon their failure to answer the petition will be taken for confessed or they will be proceeded against-for contempt-and you will make due return of this summons on the first day of the next December term of said court-
Witness John Howes clerk of said court this 3rd day of August 1863.

Att. John Hawes CJCC

Johnson Circuit Court

You have my permission to use this transcription or any other information I have given you on this website. Please let me know when you are close to a publication date. It sounds like the kind of subject in which I would be interested.
