The writ orders the Sheriff of Gibson County, Tennessee, to execute a judgment of $521.25 against the "goods and chattles, lands and tenements of John Page & James Turner." John Wesley Crockett was Davy Crockett's oldest son, a lawyer and politician who later held the same congressional seat his father did.
