freedwoman named Azeline Hearne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

her old age a reclusive, sickly, and poorly dressed woman wandering from place
to place in the Brazos River “bottomlands” in Robertson County, Texas.<span

society to have in any way influenced the course of historical events, her life

their wealth or extraordinary achievements.<span style="mso-spacerun:

Samuel (“Sam”) R. Hearne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>When Sam
died in 1866 he publicly acknowledged, to the dismay and anger of his brothers
and cousins, his years of fornication and miscegenation by bequeathing his
entire estate to his mulatto son, a minor of twenty years of age, with a
provision that he take care of his mother, Azeline.<span style="mso-spacerun:

legatee, became the owner of one of the most profitable cotton plantations in
East Texas—a circumstance briefly making her one of the wealthiest former slaves
in the entire ex-Confederate states. As a consequence, from the late 1860s to
1884 she became a routine figure at the Robertson County District Court where
she was sued numerous times by dozens of litigants, including on one occasion
her own lawyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She was the first
Texas freedwoman to be a party to a dozen lawsuits, to have three of them
appealed all the way to the state supreme court, and to be indicted on criminal
charges of perjury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Took the
wealthy white Hearne family a full sixteen years to cheat Azeline out of her
entire inheritance.</span></font></span><span class=EmailStyle18><font size=2
