I know that Isaac Blackford wrote the majority onion and it is recorded in his 8 volumes of indiana supreme court decisions that was first published by Indiana University around 1850, but I don't have access to those books. Charles Edward 13:15, 6 July 2008 (UTC) reply

I started the Polly Strong case before I found this article. It seems like it would be best to merge the information from this article into the biography, because there is some biographical information - and also duplication of much of the information. I intent to break the Circuit Court and Supreme Court case into two sections -- and then have redirects to the applicable section.

I am going to start, based on the Be Bold principal... please say so here. We can always switch it back.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 22:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC) reply
