Untitled[edit]

Thanks for creating this page, Parkwells, because the case deserves more attention, and probably additional research, and I have other responsibilities. Frankly, the Houlder Hudgins/George Wythe link that I noted in the George Wythe page is weird. And while the last name issue, 'Wright' vs. 'Wrights' might well be a typo, it also may not be, and setting up this page might enable a student (or graduate for that matter) to do the "boots on the ground" research in the Virginia archives.

Another page that needs to be edited is Spencer Roane. I did not add that link here, because it would not yet be helpful, although his is the second opinion and the other judges joined it. Roane became Richmond's political boss during that era (mentioned in Susan Dunn's Dominion of Memories p.142) , as might be reflected in this decision. I believe Roane's later jurisprudence cut back on slaves' or blacks' rights little by little, and of course Richmond became a slave trading hub. Months ago I read the Gross and Cover articles and didn't think they got to the heart of the matter. I'm pretty sure blaming St. George Tucker for the 'Hudgins v Wright' decision would be inappropriate. He might be listed first on the theory that 'even he' as Wythe's friend, thought Wythe went too far to protect blacks. Tucker left this court (and probably Richmond too) reasonably soon thereafter for the federal bench. I won't be able to access the relatively recent book about the Tucker family, which is probably only in Virginia reference rooms, any time soon. I read one biography about Roane, the title of which reflects him as either a Jeffersonian or Jacksonian democrat. It said Roane began his political career by defending people in a mob that tarred and feathered a British merchant, and that Roane's father during the revolutionary war advocated that treatment for people who were too sympathetic to blacks.Jweaver28 (talk) 14:29, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
