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.

To William E. EAVES from John David CRUM & w/ Margaret 
in Jan 1887 [WIP-1, 740].

William E. EAVES owed a mortgage to Thomas HARRIS (d/ 1893) 
for $850 and also a second mortgage owed to his grandfather, 
William H. EAVES for $500.

SALE was held 23 Dec 1893 on the premises; high bidder was: 
- James H. HARRIS at $900

William H. EAVES and William E. EAVES filed objections stating 
the sale failed to represent their mortgage and the mortgage had 
been fully paid before the sale and James H. HARRIS had promised 
to deliver the note to them.  In addition, the mortgage was 
transferred to Dr. John NICODEMUS. 

John P. RAMSBURG  also testified for them and stated Mr KANODE 
had given Wiliam E. $50 to pay HARRIS and ask for an extention 
to Jan 3rd in which he agreed.
Further, Dr. NICODEMUS agreed to lend William E. $700 to pay 
the mortgage. 
On Jan 3, Mr KANODE, William E. EAVES & wife met Mr NORWOOD 
(HARRIS' council) whereby Mr KANODE stated he wanted to buy 
the property but wanted a clear title and 
was so promised.  Mr KANODE paid Mr NORWOOD $150 cash, 
$700 from Dr. NICODEMUS 
and the other $50 having previously been paid to HARRIS.  
Mr NORWOOD wrote a release and receipts in full payment of 
the mortgage and prepared a deed from William E. EAVES and wife 
to William E. KANODE which was at once executed and put on record.
The mortgage and the note with releases were then sent by Mr. 
NORWOOD to Mr HARRIS at Liberty requesting him to sign the 
releases and send them to Mr. KANODE at Daysville.
Dr. NICODEMUS also stated he understood the 1st mortgage 
would be released. 

Instead, Mr HARRIS brought the papers back to Mr NORWOOD 
and said he didn't understand, that since he was the assignee, 
the mortgagee should be transferred to him.  
On Jan 10, Mr NORWOOD found the 2nd mortgage and advised 
Mr HARRIS to erase the release and assign the mortgage to 
Dr. John D. NICODEMUS and was then done.

The court ruled conveyance to James H. HARRIS would enable 
him to give a good title to William E. KANODE who could then 
give a 1st mortgage to Dr. NICODEMUS.

Trustee to convey the deed to James H. HARRIS was Frank E. 
NORWOOD, Esquire.
