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.

(Warrenfeltz had rented the tobacco house to Aaron JONES) and therefore, 
acreage as in agreement was not the same.

The court ruled deed to be made per the survey (which was done prior to

defendents should have contested the agreement and asked for refund of 
their money, instead of remaining in possession of property.

E.R. WOOD, Esquires, will sell the property.
