State of Kentucky
Office of the Secretary of State
Frankfort 14^th June 1865

Govenor.

I have left for your consideration a Petition for W. J. Myers & Mrs Moore. both of whom are Residents of Pendleton County -- The Pet will explain itsself -- I had leave to submit an additional statement of my-own I am well acquainted with Mrs Moore as I am also with King Plummer King Plummer married a daughter of Mrs Moore -- and it now turns out that he was a married man at the time he married Miss Moore. and was Indicted for Bigamy -- he was arrested & W. J. Myers entered on the Bond as Bail -- he is the Brother of Mrs Moore and Mrs Moore indemnified her Brother W. J. Myers. before he would enter as Bail shortly after the execution of the Bond
Plummer entered the United states service where he served out about eighteen months was in the 40^th Ky Regt. shortly after his discharge he was taken sick at the Regular Term (april) 1865 of the Pendleton Circuit Court. Plummer was sick. & the Bond forfeited -- and the Bench warrant issued and was executed Mr. Moore & W. J Myers again entered as Bail -- and in a few days the s^d Court reassembled and Plummer failed to appear. and the Bond was forfeited -- He is now gone to parts unknown. Mrs. Moore has her Daughter with her -- and she has declined liveing with Plummer longer -- She is an ameiable woman -- and has to look to her widowed mother Mrs Moore (The Petitioner) for a support -- who if she has to pay these Bonds. will not be able to render her a subsistence -- Myers although on the Bond will not loose one cent -- I know these facts be cause I have acted as counsel for Plummer during the whole time -- I therefore earnestly request your Excellency -- to remit & cancel the two Bonds -- This will be right as all know who are at all familiar with the history of the case.
