Equity Court Abstracts

These are abstracts from Equity Court Records of Frederick County, Maryland, many times providing family data on the defendant and sometimes on persons not mentioned on the docket. Some of the listings are quite informative while others, being dismissed, may only have the date and name of plantiff and defendant. However, the cases brought before the judge consisted of sworn testimony and each one holds a story. Perhaps you will find a story connected to your search.

purchaser.

Testimony was heard 13 Nov 1886 from: 
- John H. HILL, age 40, resided in Utica Mills; stated he had 
   bid for Catharine TODD, but Mr ROGERS told the auctioneer 
   to substitute him for Mrs. TODD; then Mr ROGERS and his 
   brother and the auctioneer got into a carriage and drove 
   off to Frederick together.

- Harry R. SNOOK, age 23, resided in Utica Mills; stated Mr 
   ROGERS hurried the auctioneer because they had to catch 
   a train.

- William H. TODD, age 60, resided in Utica Mills.
- George Washington MILLER, age 52, resided near Lewistown.
- Benjamin F. HAUSE, age 56, resided in Howard County.

   surveyor, auctioneer and farmer.  Was auctioneer for the 
   sale and claimed, regarding Lot #4, Mr TODD had told him 
   to let Mr. ROGERS have it.

- John G. ROGERS, age 37, Howard County, lawyer in Ellicott City.  
   His uncle was John C. ROGERS; his brother was R. D. ROGERS; 
   the auctioneer was John L. HILL; and Benjamin F. HAUSE was 
   a miller.  Stated Mr. TODD had asked him to deed the store 
   property to them and take the rest for the mortgage.  
   Mrs. TODD told him it had been their home for many years 
   and they wanted to remain there.
   In a later converstion with Mrs. TODD, she told him times 
   were hard; they had lost their only son and very recently 
   also lost a daughter (one of their daughters was Grace who  
   had been ill).  
   Mr. Charles SNOOK had offered $900 for the store property 
   for Mrs. TODD because they were old friends and neighbors.  
   ROGERS discovered the insurance and taxes had not been 
   paid and the grain elevator, large bin and other items had 
   been removed after the sale; he evidently declined the offer.

The court overruled the objections.  William P. MAULSBY Jr., 
Esquire, was appointed trustee to convey the deeds.

John G. ROGERS then had to petition the court to have the 
TODDs removed from the property as they had refused to leave 
the premises.

(Note - No explanation why Sarh HANLEY didn't receive a share; 
was clearly listed as 1/5 shares and not 1/6; however, a marriage 
license listed below indicates this Sarah's maiden name was 
DELAPLANE (which is her mother's maiden name) and thus, 
indicates she was born out of wedlock; which would then list 
her as illegitimate and disallow her from any inheritance. 
This is not notated in the equity records, but would explain 
why she didn't receive a share.)
