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.

Exec/ son Joseph SMITH
Witnesses:  Jeret BETT/BELT, P. THOMAS, Jacob JACOBS
[Will GM-2, 523; written 18 Mar 1794; filed 8 Apr 1794]

LAND - Lot #11 in Berlin; adjoined Lot #10; on corner of First St and 
Upper St [on Plat of Berlin WR-11, 288 and AF-5, 393].

Leonard SMITH, the founder of the village of Berlin, devised Lot #11 
to his son Benjamin SMITH and no deed can be found to indicate the 
title is to anyone except the heirs of Benjamin SMITH.  
Catharine (Ebbert) HAYS had been in possession of Lot #11  for many 
years prior to her death, but deed was not recorded and if deed 
was issued, it is now lost.  The heirs of Benjamin SMITH are unknown. 

George EBBERT's grandchildren disputed any ownership of Catharine (Ebbert) 
HAYS and claimed she was allowed to live there after the death of her husband 
(George had owned four houses in Berlin).

Testimony  was heard 30 Dec 1895 from: 
- William F. HAYS, age 55, Baltimore City - claimed he was born in the house 
   on Lot #10 and can remember it from childhood; his father had died when 
   he was a baby and he was the only child.  His mother had been living on 
   Lot #10 and 11, both being enclosed by one fence, but the house is on 
   Lot #10.  Taxes on the property were paid by him.
   One of the tenants had been William BERNARD who paid the rent to him. 
- John L. JORDAN, age 48, Brunswick - Mrs HAYS and her son had occupied 
   the lots when I first knew them, 30-35 years, until her death. It was 
   always referred to as the 'Hays lot' until a few years ago when a person 
   named JOHNSON claimed a portion of them.  He never knew anybody 
   else claiming title and had lived ther since 1852.
- Patrick M. WEST, age 70, Brunswick - Had been there 60 years and claimed 
   the lots were owned by the HAYS family.  He stated Catharine (Ebbert) 
   HAYS had been living there prior to the death of her husband.  He left 
   the neighborhood in 1865.
- William L. GROSS, age 38, Brunswick - He had lived there since 1877 
   and the lots were always known as the 'Hays lot'.
- Mrs. Mary C. JOHNSON, age 66, Martinsburg, Berkeley Co, WV - 
   She married John T. JOHNSON about 40 years prior.  Catharine (Ebberts) 
   HAYS was her aunt who had lived on Lots #10 & 11 and also had her 
   grandmother (Catharine's mother) living there until her grandmother's 
   death.  Catharine had lived there as long as she can remember and was 
   living there for some years before the death of her husband.  
      Besides her son William F. HAYS, she had another son who died while 
   the war was going on; his name was George Washington HAYS and was 
   25 or 26 years old at the time of his death; he was single.
      Since the death of her father, George EBBERT, she and William F. HAYS 
   and herself had been paying taxes on it, each owning half of the lots.  
   Mr HAYS had been renting the property.
      Her father's Will listed her as Mary Ann, but there is no other daughter 
   named Mary Ann. 
- John T. JOHNSON, age 64, Martinsburg, WV - both he and William F. HAYS 
   have paid taxes on the property; the Hays had been living there before 
   his marriage some 40 years ago.
- John H. POOLE, age 49, Washington, DC.
- Lucinda JETT, age 67, Sunbury, PA - William F. HAYS was about six months 
   old when his father died.  The family had been living there and Mrs HAYS 
   then lived there with her two sons.  She moved to Martinsburg after her 
   father died.  She hadn't seen William F. HAYS in over 20 years.
   The HAYS family had been living there before she was born. 
   She stated her husband had sold the property devised to her in her 
   father's Will without her knowledge.
- Alley A. LEITZ, age 53, Baltimore City - Claimed she heard her Uncle 
   Fred EBBERT and her mother talking about Bill HAYS wanting to take 
   this property away from Aunt Mary and Uncle Fred saying Mary couldn't 
   claim Lot #11 and couldn't claim all of Lot #10 because her father 
   had given her only half of it. 
   She was born in Berlin but left when seven years old.
   She (her mother) always said that George EBBERT let Mrs. HAYS live 
   there out of charity because she was his widowed sister.  As soon 
   as her mother "was put in the ground", then Bill HAYS started these 
   proceedings. 

The court determined George EBBERT had specifically devised only half 
of Lot #10 to his daughter Mary which indicated no claim for the other 
half.  He also had been living there with his nephew at the time of his 
death.  Therefore, the other heirs had no interest in these lots and 
ownership is determined to be for Mrs JOHNSON and William F. HAYS.

Trustee was John S. NEWMAN. 
SALE was held 13 June 1896 at the store of William L. GROSS; 
high bidder was: 
- Edward J. HUDSON for Lot #10 at $480
- Edward J. HUDSON for Lot #11 at $702
