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.

The trustees (before Joseph CRONISE's death) also laid off 
a 40 foot wide strip of land, creating Winchester St, but 
because the southern part was a dead end, they were unable 
to have the Mayor designate it as a public street.  
So, Milton G. URNER, the surviving trustee, made an agreement 
with Melvin ODIN, the purchaser of Lot #37, to have him sell 
a strip of land across the northern section of his parcel to 
the Mayor, which would extend Winchester St to Carroll St 
Extended, thus qualifing as a public street. 
(This section now known as Urner St).

DHH-3, 716-724 - HOUCK, POOLE - #FR - Liberty

Sarah C. WARNER and husband Samuel C. WARNER
- Sale of Real Estate - Equity #7264 & 4937 - Oct 1900

Petition originally filed by Jacob J. HOUCK in 1883, but 

Jacob J. HOUCK died 1900, testate, naming his widow as 
Valeria E. and leaving her all his estate and rights. 

Exec/ Hamilton LINDSAY
Witnesses:  Roscoe C. WHITE, Horatio WATERS
[Will CES-1, 61; written 22 Aug 1899; filed 16 Oct 1900]

LAND - 70.25 acres, 2.5 miles from Libertytown, on road 
from Mapleville to the Liberty Road. 
Improved with a 6-room, 2-story log and weatherboarded 
house with basement, a log and weatherboarded ground barn 
with wagon shed attached, two corn cribs, meat house, wood 
shed, apple orchard and well near the house; farm divided 
into 6 fields and has two springs.

HOWEVER - this land had been deeded to Jacob's first wife, 

Ann Elizabeth HOUCK; and she and her husband Jacob J. HOUCK 
conveyed a Deed of Trust to their daughter, Emma HOUCK, 
in trust for her and their other children, with life estates 
to both parents; and upon their deaths, to be sold and profits 
divided evenly among all their children - Sep 1877 [TG-8, 246].

Previously the property belonged to George CLINE who died 
intestate and, on 13 Nov 1874, his widow and children became 
the heirs.  
Power of Attorney was granted to William WARNER [TG-2, 271], 
who was authorized to sell the property, 2/3 to be paid and 
the other 1/3 to be paid after the death of the widow CLINE 
when it would be distributed to the heirs of George CLINE.
The property was then sold to Ann Elizabeth HOUCK.

Ann Elizabeth HOUCK died and Jacob later married Valeria 
E. HOUCK.

After Emma HOUCK died in Aug 1882, who was the original 
trustee, Valeria E. HOUCK applied to replace her, but never 
posted bond; this being in Oct 1883.  She then took possession 
of the property and sold off much of the timber, amounting to 
$2,000 without ever filing any report.
Since the property was originally Ann Elizabeth HOUCK's, 
Valeria E. HOUCK had no legal interest in the estate as her 
husband only had a life estate.

Sarah C. WARNER and husband Sameul C. WARNER made application 
to appoint John E. HOUCK and John S. NEWMAN as trustees to 
manage the sale of the property.
The new trustees stated the trust was for children of Jacob 
J. & Ann E. HOUCK. Years after Ann died, Jacob remarried. 
His 2nd wife, Valeria E. HOUCK, was in a strained and 
hostile relationship with Jacob's children & grandchildren.

Valeria E. HOUCK was removed as trustee and court appointed 
John S. NEWMAN and John E. HOUCK as trustees.

SALE was held 23 Feb 1901 at Carter's Store in Libertytown; 
high bidder was: 
- Samuel M. POOLE at $13/acre; $918.94;
  Subject to the right of the widow & children of George CLINE; 
  and tenant Thomas E. SMITH for the growing crops; and for 
  Estate of Jacob J. HOUCK, life tenant, in crops.
