A broadside authored by Allen Latham was published by the Chillicothe Advertiser in Oct 1840. This publication was apparently prompted by Mr Latham's upcoming bid for election to some office in Fayette County. Two extracts explain the circumstances of Adam Caylor – the first is the "slander" article in the Fayette Washingtonian of October 3: "Farmers of Fayette you all remember the case of poor old Adam Caylor. This is the same Allen Latham who dispossessed Adam of his farm in your county, and turned him out of door, houseless and poor."
The second extract is Latham's reply in the broadside: "Having noticed a slanderous statement in the Washingtonian of the 3d inst., respecting a land contract between myself and Adam Caylor, and also another contract with James Shackelford, I have presumed that short, but a plain statement, is all that is needed to prove the falsity of these charges – the facts here given can be proved from written documents now in my possession:
First – As to the charge of using the records of my office for the purpose of speculating in those cases; it is answered simply by another fact, that I did not hold the office of "Surveyor General" till long after these transactions took place, as is well known.
The facts as to Cayler are shortly these: – He held a defective claim to land, under Thomas Holt, then deceased, who died insolvent and could give him no adequate remedy. Holt's claim proved invalid. The land, or part of it, had been granted to me by patent, and Caylor having made some improvements on the land, I purchased his claim and improvements by giving him other improved land in payment thereof, in Adams county, where he went and resided for some time, and afterwards sold it. This happened from 15 to 18 years ago, and is now raked up for the first time to my knowledge, to subserve an election campaign. There never has been any difficulty or unfriendliness between Mr. Caylor and myself."²⁰
