13 BENNET B. CORBAN - ELIZABETH CORBAN
To the Honorable Legislature of the State of Tennessee now in session.
Your Petitioner Elizabeth Corban preys a divorce of your honorable body from her husband, Bennet B. Corban who left her in October 1830 to go to Natchez as he stated for the purpose of collecting money. She further states that he left her without any provisions for sustenance more than ten days with two small children and stated that he would be back again in six weeks but have not yet returned. She states that she has frequently heard of him and have good reason to believe that he never intends coming back again. She further states that from his former conduct to her she never intends living with him again provided he should return again as she believes that she can do much better without him than with him. She further states that he left her without any just cause or provocation to the best of her knowledge and as such she hopes that your honorable body will consider her case and grant her a divorce as it is her will and wish as she is now living with her father where she believes that her situation would be more comfortable both to her and her children.
Elizabeth Corban
Sworn to and subscribed before me this 30th day of November 1831.
Attest William Polk, J.P.
We the undersigned citizens of Montgomery County do certify that we have been acquainted with Mrs. Elizabeth Corban several years and fully believe her to be a Virtues, Genteel woman and from our knowledge of her Husbands treatment toward her we do pronounce it shamefully and without any cause and we hope your Honorable Body will grant her petition.

17 BEN BRYANT - JOSEPHINE BRYANT
January 13,1891---The courthouse is rather dull now---the only manifest interest being in the Circuit Court.
This tribunal is still engaged in hearing the suit of Josephine Carver Bryant vs. Ben Wright Bryant for divorce. The parties are white and live in District 20 of this county. The couple had lived together only a short time (married in 1888) and the wife accuses the husband of not complying with the marriage contract and wants to be set free again. The husband in turn holds that he has not violated the contract and does not want the wife to have a divorce. Thus the matter stands and will take up the entire day in court.

18 WILLIAM COLDER - MARGARET J. COLDER
March 20,1844---Be it remembered that this day, this cause was heard before the Honorable Andrew McCampbell, Chancellor, upon the Bill being regularly taken for confessed and proof in the cause and it appearing to the satisfaction of the Court that the defendant William A. Colder did willfully and maliciously abandon and desert the complainant for more than ten years before the filing of the bill without any just cause and that he still continues that abandonment and desertion. It is therefore ordered, adjudges, and decreed that the marriage existing between the complainant and the defendant heretofore be dissolved, made void and held for nothing and that the said Margaret J. Colder be restored to all the rights of a fem sole and that the complainant pay the cost.
