John Caskie married Martha on July 10, 1817.
From Anne Rupert;
John Caskie died in September, 1867, being a member of the firm of J. & J. K. Caskie, composed of himself and James K. Caskie his son, tobacco merchants, in Richmond. John Caskie left a will appointing James K., Robert A., and William H.
Caskie, his three sons, executors. They all qualified and gave a joint and several bond without sureties, none being required by the will. The firm owed no debts. At the death of John, James owed the estate $10,000. Between his death
and September, 1868, James collected firm assets to the amount of $62,000, nearly all of which he lost in cotton speculations. James advanced to the firm of Caskie & Brothers, of which he was a member, $43,608 92, part of the late firm's assets held by him as surviving partner, and in 1S68 withdrew $40,000 thereof, which he lost in similar speculations. In September, 1868, James K. Caskie died testate, leaving no personal estate, and his brothers Robert A. and William H. Caskie qualified as executors. The plaintiffs sued as legatees under the will of John Caskie for payment of their legacies and to have a settlement
of the accounts of Robert A. and W. H. Caskie, as surviving executors of John Caskie and James K. Caskie, and of the accounts of James K. Caskie as surviving partner. The Chancery Court decreed that for the funds of the estate of John Caskie, deceased, which came into the hands of James K. Caskie, whether as surviving partner or otherwise, the latter was liable in his capacity as executor of John Caskie, and that Robert A. and William II. Caskie were also
liable as sureties in their joint executorial bond, and that R. A. & W. H. Caskie were liable also for balance due by Caskie & Bros , composed of themselves and James K. Caskie, to J. & J. K. Caskie, or to estate of James K.
Caskie ; and that they and John N. Caskie are liable for balance due by Caskie & Bros., composed of themselves and John N. Caskie, to J. & J. K. Caskie, or to the estate of James K. Caskie, deceased. From this decree the said Robert A. Caskie and William H. Caskie, executors as aforesaid, obtained an appeal to this court. The remaining facts and points relied on are fully stated in the opinion of the
court.
