ADAMS 

George ADAMS - - Insolvency - 28 Dec 1792 - Frederick County

An Act of Assembly passed an Insolvent Act in Nov 1792 
called “Relief of Fundry”

George ADAMS was indebted to Frederick Lodowick HENOP 
and filed for insolvency.

LAND - "Rattle Snake Spring", 255 acres;
- "Monocacy Manor" (part)

At the hearing, he was asked if he had removed any property 
to Kentucky, namely a wagon, horses, Negroes and phaeton*.   
He was also asked if, in the Fall of 1792, he sent to Kentucky, 
by his brothers, 

several Negroes consisting of 200 men, 

SAMUEL, BENJAMIN, a yellow woman and two girls

He responded he hadn’t; it was his brother Andrew ADAMS and 
they had belonged to his father.  He owed two bonds of $300 each 
to Gen WILLIAMS.

*(Dictionary describes phaeton as "a light four-wheeled horse-drawn 
    vehicle)
