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 widow denied this and claimed she had $600 and it was used 
by her husband, part for an advance to son Henry possibly.  She 
also stated the items she has were purchased by her through the 
administrator.  (This seems to indicate Margaretta may have been 
a second wife and probably not the mother to the children listed
