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.

John DeGRANGE & Others  vs  Henry RUNNER & Others - Mar 1850
Supplemental of WBT-3, 369

Estate of Daniel RUNNER, son of Charity RUNNER, dec'd,
with John DeGRANGE as trustee.

LAND - part of land was inherited from his mother and part was inherited 
from his brother, John RUNNER, dec'd, who had received his land from 
his mother also.

Abraham JONES, a free man, is petitioning the court for his mother, 
a negro woman slave named SUEKEY, who was a slave for life of Charity 
RUNNER who left a provision in her will for SUEKEY.  The provision 
stated that Charity's children, Daniel RUNNER, John RUNNER and 
Catharine ROHRER were to keep and maintain SUEK during her 
natural life; however, none of the parties have supported Suek, who 
is now old and helpless, for more than two years and no provision 
has been made for her.

Testimony was heard from:

   had been provided up until 19 June 1847.

   Henry ROHRER.  
   He further stated that 1/3 of monies due for SUEK should be paid by 
   Henry ROHRER.
   He also offered to take SUEKEY and maintain her comfortably for the 
   sum of $50 per year which he felt was ample compensation as her son 
   has placed her with strangers and is not being cared for as well as 
   she should be.

Abraham JONES was awarded $60 per year for the period 19 June 1847 
through 19 November 1850 with Henry ROHRER to pay 1/3 of it out 
of the funds due him and the other 2/3 to be taken from the proceeds 
before distribution to the heirs.
In addition, $1,000 is to be set aside for the future maintenance 
of SUEK with $60 per year being paid to John DeGRANGE as care 
provider.

Petition of Henry CARTER

Trustees Dennis H. MAYNARD and Dawson V. HAMMOND.

SALE to Henry CARTER for 216 acres in Liberty of which $8,329.50 
has been paid with $3,552.15 remaining due.  Carter now claims he 
had no knowledge of any incumbrances, but has since been served 
with papers for water rights whereby Isaac TYSON Jr. diverted the 
water from parts of said land causing the land to be worth less than 
what he had agreed to pay for it.  Carter asks for a decrease in price 
of the property.
Allen PAINE Jr, Basil DORSEY and Francis S. JONES also testified 
validating Carter's claim; auctioneer was Thomas CARR.  
Basil testified that he had heard Dawson V. HAMMOND say, at the 
tavern of Daniel ROOT in Liberty, that Dawson did not believe there 
was any contract between his uncle Dennis HOWARD, dec'd and Isaac 
TYSON Jr.
The court ruled that an abatement of $1,000 be made to Henry CARTER
against the purchase price.  Closed 1 Nov 1852.

Agreement to Isaac TYSON Jr. of Baltimore from Dennis D. HOWARD
for right of all the water of the Dollyhide Branch running through his
tract "Howard's Paradise" in the ditch or race as it is now dug with
right to enlarge it to width of six feet and also for the right at any and 
all times for the next ensuing forty years to enter upon the premises 
to mend or clean said ditch or race provided not injury to any crop or
premises.  It is understood said water right is in connection with Tyson's 
mining rights at Richard COALES and will continue as long as the lease
granted Richard COALE shall continue.  Dated 17 Apr 1847.
