1. ““ ‘An agreement to forbear, for a time, proceedings at law or in equity, to enforce a well-founded claim, is a valid consideration for a promise. . . . Nor need the agreement to a delay be for a time certain, for it may be a reasonable time only, and yet be a sufficient consideration for a promise.’ Cathcart v. Thomas, 8 Baxt. 172 , 174 [ 67 Tenn. 172, 174 ]. To the same effect, see Turney v. Denham, 4 Baxt. 569 [ 63 Tenn. 569 ]; Townsend v. Neuhardt, 139 Tenn. 695, 698 [ 203 S. W. 255 ]; Tappan v. Campbell, 9 Yerg. 436 [ 17 Tenn. 436 ].””
