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.

- James A. ORNDORFF - claimed he married Mary E. ORNDORFF 
   in Westminster, Carroll County, on the 13th of Feb 1862.
   James was born near ECK's Mill in Carroll County and lived there from 
   1833 to 1845; them to Alloway's Creek in Carroll County and resided 
   there until 1848.  Then to Jacob KERNELL's for a year, then to Jacob 
   SHENKLE's near Taneytown, Carroll County for two or three years.
   Then he lived on Plank Road, near the Baptist Meeting House for eight 
   years.  He was 20 years old in June 1853 but left home in April 1853 
   and went to learn carpentering and bridge building with John K. TAYLOR 
   & Bros. near Emmitsburg and remained there almost three years.
   He 'hired' for one year to Georgetown College at White Marsh, Prince 
   George's County; then went on his own and worked in carpentry in the 
   same neighborhood until Dec 1860; them back to where his father lived 
   which was called the "Wynn Tract" which afterwards was deeded to him; 
   it was 12-14 acres in Carroll County near the Baptist Meeting House which 
   he bought from his brother Aloysius F. ORNDORFF for $400. 
   He came to Frederick County in Dec 1860.  
   He sold the house and lot to Peter BISHOP's girls for $800, about three 
   years before he was married and then bought the Wynn property of 58 
   acres for $2,000 from John WYNN, but still owed money on it.
   He stated his father-in-law, John ORNDORFF, was going to pay the $700 
   mortgage, but died in the meantime (d/ Feb 1869 or 1870).  His wife paid 
   it out of her inheritance with the agreement with her father that it was to 
   be his wife's.  John ORNDORFF also had a son Frank.

   There were three houses on the tracts:  His wife & he and their family lived 
   in one; David MARTIN lives in another and farms most of the land; and John 
   TOPPER lives in the third house.  There was a new brick house built in 1874, 
   a frame and log house and a log house and a barn built in 1870.  He rebuilt 
   the Topper house in 1864.  The brick house and barn were on the Wynn property; 
   the Topper house was on the Rife property; and the Martin house was on the 
   Wynn property.
   For the brick house:  Hiram TAYLOR was the carpenter, Samuel SEABROOKS 
   was the brick and stone mason and James T. HAYS did the tin work.  The bricks 
   were made on site and the stones were gotten along the mountain; the lumber 
   came from T. H. ECKENRODE of Taneytown and from J & G COALE of Buchanan's 
   Valley, PA.

Testimony was heard on 28 Nov 1881 from: 

- J. Hiram TAYLOR, a member of John K. TAYLOR & Bros - he constructed the 
   barn, blacksmith shop, chicken house, dairy and ice house, wash house, bake house 
   smoke house and privy at a cost of $5,000 and labor at $2,000.  Said James told 
   him his father-in-law wanted him to build on the Rife property, but he had it built 
   on the Wynn property, James' property.

- James A. ELDER - he sold James the glass, and also red lead and oil for this barn; 
   the Wynn farm was purchased by James A. ORNDORFF before his marriage.

- John R. STONER - he attempted to get paid for his notes before he assigned them 
   to Michael CROUSE.  James showed him two notes of $4,000 each from his brother-
   in-law, Josephus ORNDORFF with Jacob ZACHARIAS and Cyrus SCHWEIGART 
   as sureties payable to James A. ORNDORFF.

- Eugene L. ROWE

   His father died 14 Feb 1869.  He paid a note due to James for $8,333.33 in 1874.
   He bought the home farm after his father's death.

- Aloysius F. ORNDORFF, brother of James - claimed James owned the Bishop property 
   in Carroll County prior to his marriage but sold it and then bought the Wynn property 
   in Frederick County.  James said he was building on his Wynn tract, not on his wife's 
   Rife tract.  He went with James to the Fredericktown Savings Bank to obtain a loan 
   to pay the debts, was told it was approved and then made the deed to his wife.

- Francis H. ORNDORFF - son of 

     John ORNDORFF  d/ 18 Feb 1869 in Carroll County
          s/ Josephus A. ORNDORFF
          s/ Francis H. ORNDORFF
          d/ Mary Magdalen Elizabeth ORNDORFF, w/o James A. ORNDORFF

     Each received $5,031.33 from personal property; $8,333.33 from 
     the home farm and $2,885.45 from real estate sold by John J. 
     BAUMGARDNER, trustee of John ORNDORFF's estate.

     James was indebted to his father for $5,253; $1,253 when they first 
     married and $1,000 when the Walter property was purchased and 
     $3,000 when the Rife property was purchased; the $1,000 and $3,000 
     payments were by notes payable to John ORNDORFF and signed by 
     James.  The notes were paid out of Mary's share upon the settlement 
     of John ORNDORFF's estate.

The court ruled the wife must have been aware the deeds were in her 
husband's name before the transfer and declared the deed to Mary be 
declared void.  Order to sell the real estate to pay the creditors with 
trustees as Frederick J. NELSON and Charles V. S. LEVY, Esquires.

James A. & Mary ORNDORFF appealed the decision and Mary asked 
the court to put the proceedings on hold until 30 June 1883 whereby 
she would be able to pay all of the debts and the sale would not be 
necessary.  
The court granted her request; however, the appeals court denied it 
and sale was reinstated.

Trustees were Frederick J. NELSON and Charles V. S. LEVY, Esquires.

Sale was held 28 Jul 1883 at the Western Maryland Hotel in Emmitsburg; 
high bidder was: 
- Francis H. ORNDORFF for the Rife and Wynn farm at $6,500
- Ephraim BENTZELL for the 10-acre wood lot at $70
All subject to the dower of Mary ORNDORFF.

The ORNDORFFs objected to the sale claiming it should have been divided 
and only sold enough to cover debts; however, more claims were filed and 
the court approved the sale.

Co, Maryland, 820 acres, assessed at $30,361.50.   

- Montgomery Co, Maryland - Mary inherited 646 acres from her father, 
Daniel TRUNDLE and also parts of "It May Be Good In Time" and "Hemptone's 
Discovery", 70 1/2 acres, 5 miles from her residence, all in Montgomery 
County.

Commissioners assessed the property in Montgomery County as:
- Lot #1 was in two parts, one contained 203 acres with the house and 
   barn and orchard and valued at $10,670.75; and a mountain lot, 61

On 9 Aug 1865, the four oldest children filed for partition of estate 
in Montgomery County [Equity #182 in 1865 and #159 in 1866].  
Charles W. SHREVE and Thomas J. SHREVE elected to take the real 
estate in Maryland and pay their siblings their share.  By Oct 1866, 
Thomas had married Rosalie and opted for Charles to take the real 
estate.  Charles then did and has paid all of it except $10,120 which 
is owing to two of the children.

All of the real estate in Virgina was taken by Danel T. SHREVE by a 
similiar understanding; it was valued at $19,000.

Thomas J. SHREVE was paid his share before his death.

In Montgomery County, Benjamin R. WHITE was appointed as guardian 
for the then minors, Ann O. SHREVE and Arthur B. SHREVE, in Aug 1865.
Testimony was heard in Rockville on 20 Nov 1865 from:
- John L. T. JONES, age 44, farmer, resides near Monocacy, Montgomery 
   County
- James O. TRUNDLE, age 35, farmer, resides near Mouth of Monocacy in 
   Montgomery County, on the farm adjoining Mary E. SHREVE's.
A commission was issued to determine if land could be divided; members 
were William MATHEWS, George BREWER, Franklin WHITE, Frederick S. 
POOLE and Greenbury M. WATKINS, all of Montgomery County.

In Oct 1874 in Frederick County, Adolphus FEARHAKE Jr was appointed 
guardian of the minors.
Testimony was heard in Rockville on 19 Nov 1874 from:
- Richard H. JONES, age 64, resided near Mouth of Monocacy, 
   Montgomery County, lived within a half mile of Mary E. SHREVE
- Benjamin F. SHREVE, age 43, Frederick County, son  - his mother made 
   her Will just before he left for Missouri.  
   Since the filing, Daniel S. SHREVE has died.
- George BREWER, age 52, resided near Mouth of Monocacy, Montgomery County

The question regarding the Will was did the children only have a life estate 
in the real estate or were each to have equal portion in fee.  If only a life 
estate, then the property cannot be sold or leased out.  All of the grandchildren 
are minors.  Montgomery County could not decide if the property could be sold 
and referred it to Frederick County.

On 1 May 1878, testimony in Frederick City was heard from: 
- Edward NICHOLS, attorney in Leesburg, VA - was counsel for Arthur B. SHREVE 
   of St Louis, Missouri for the Loudoun Co, Virginia property.

   Montgomery County.  Claims his brother Arthur may be living in New York.

   County

Frederick J. NELSON, Esquires.

of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road near the real estate to be sold; 
high bidders were:

purchaser in his place due to his participation in the case; however she failed 
to pay more than the initial $500 payment.  Trustees petitioned for resale.

asked to complete the sale; trustees accepted her offer.
