Their Day in Court
Henrietta Wood and Madeline Pollard are two Kentucky Women who successfully sued Kentucky men in the 1800s.
Henrietta was a free woman when Zebulon Ward abducted her and sent her back into slavery. Her suit for restitution was pivitol - and successful.
Madeline Pollard sued Col. Breckinridge for breach of promise when he refused to marry her as once promised, following their years-long affair.
