Reports of Cases in the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, 1896 pg 519
On the 13th day of March 1888 action was brought on the law side of the Circuit Court of Loudoun county, in the name of Thomas E. Hough, administrator of William Hough, deceased, who was trustee for Elizabeth A. Clendenning for the use of H.H. Russell, sheriff of Loudoun County, and as such, administrator of Elizabeth A. Clendenning, deceased against Harrison Osborne, executor of John H. Thompson, deceased, on the following bond: "One day after date, I bind myself to pay William Hough in trust for Elizabeth A. Clendenning, thirty-five hundred dollars, for value received." Witness my hand and seal this 20th day of April, 1868. John H. Thompson...(couple pages omitted)
John H. Thompson, the obligor in the bond sued on, was a wealthy bachelor, living in the county of Loudoun, worth at the time of the bond, in assessed values $50,000 and at the time of his death in 1884, $120,000. He is shown to have been a successful and prudent businessman, prompt in the payment of every obligation, and died without owing a dollar, unless the claim here asserted is an outstanding liability...William Clendening, the husband of Elizabeth A. Clendening, the beneficial payee in said bond, was a member of a firm of cotton brokers in Baltimore, and appears to have been the only member of that firm who had any considerable means. In April 1871, this firm failed for a large sum of money, over $60,000 and bankruptcy stared William Clendening in the face. Mrs. Clendening was a favorite cousin of John H. Thompson, and through her influence, said Thompson came to the rescue of her husband, and undertook to settle this large indebtedness with the creditors of the Baltimore firm. To this end William Clendening conveyed to John H. Thompson, property valued at about $15,000 including two farms in Loudoun County valued at $12,160...(pages skipped) Mrs. Clendening died the 19th of April 1879 leaving no children, and her husband surviving. That Mrs. Clendening left no property would seem to be plainly indicated by the fact that William Clendening never had her will recorded, and never qualified as her administrator...(pages skipped) The record shows that William Clendening lived until January 14, 1883, nearly four years after his wifes death and died in absolute ignorance of the existence of this bond as an outstanding debt against John H. Thompson.
