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.

Tract", 150 acres.

his place.  The deed to Hammond was later declared void by the court and the property
ordered sold to cover debts of the other McPhersons.

in the deed of trust to Hammond, at $3,710; he also paid $598 for the interests of John

Eichelberger had purchased the property for Henry G. WATERS who was a clerk 
in his office at the Register of Wills.  The down payment was made with wages due 
to Waters.  At that time, his son, Thomas G. WATERS, was also living there.
George M. EICHELBERGER and w/ Jane conveyed the property to Joshua DILL in

the real estate to obtain collection of the debt.  He also still owed $100 on a note

tavern of Ezra SHANK, sale was held with high bidder as Godfrey KOONTZ at $310.
