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.

[Will GM-2, 374 written 23 Nov 1790]

LAND - "Chestnut Ridge", 50 acres; 
- Lots #207-211 in Frederick Town, fronting 
80' on Market St and extending west along north side of Fourth St for 300 feet.
To Casper MANTZ, merchant, from Michael FYE (w/ Eve) at 30 pounds current 
money in July 1766 [K-666].

- also "Long Acre" (was part of "Tasker's Chance"), Lots #14 & 15, adjoining 
"Addition to Frederick Town".

The sons agreed [WR-12, 21-224 in 1794] to a partition of lots except for Lot #211 
and part of #210, fronting Fourth St 110' and westward for 80' - to be set off as 
a grave yard and known for many years as 'Mantz Grave Yard'.  Mantz Plat
Agreement for division of other lots:
- Francis - "Chestnut Ridge", 50 acres
- Peter - southern halves of Lots #207-209 and part of 210
- David - northern havles  of Lots #207-209 and part of 210
- Isaac - part of Lot #14
- John - parts of Lot #14 & 15

Petition claims Lot #11 and part of #10 have not been used as a burial ground 
for many years and most of those buried there, that could be identified, have 
been removed to other cemeteries.  Part of lot has been cultivated and is partly 
planted in fruit trees and is no longer being used as a burying ground except 
it still has a few bodies buried there from many years ago.   The suit requests 
the lot be sold and the proceeds used to purchase grave lots and rebury the 
few bodies still remaining to the Mount Olivet Cemetery with the balance 
divided among the sons.  The German Baptists or "Dunkers" have interest 
in obtaining the lot for a church.

Guardian was Alfred RITTER, Esquire.
Testimony was heard 25 Aug 1885 from: 

- Charles W. HALLER, a descendant of a daughter of Casper MANTZ Sr., the decedant.  
Claimed the burying ground was used up to 1854; at that time, the marked graves were 
moved to Mount Olivet Cemetery.  The lot has been used as a garden by Mrs. KUSSMAUL 
in exchange for her caring for the place.

- William MANTZ, a grandson of Peter MANTZ, one of the sons of Caspar MANTZ Sr.  
He didn't believe there were any gravestones remaining.  He claimed there were five 
graves, two of them being his brothers, but he can't tell where because the tombstones 
have long since disappeared.

- George MARKELL, age 68, a grandson of Peter MANTZ, one of the sons of Caspar MANTZ Sr. 

Trustees were Francis BRENGLE and Milton G. URNER Sr.
SALE was made to: 
- German Baptist Brethren of Frederick at $600

The remaining burials were to be transferred to Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Distribution after expenses: $250.40
- Each son's 1/5 share, $50.08.
Closed 24 Feb 1886.

Distribution after court costs:
- Ada C. MOODY, 1/2, $171.07
- Octavia L. ADAMS, 1/2, $171.07

Octavia objected to the disbursement because MOODY had paid 
the taxes on the property (without knowledge of Octavia) and now 
claimed all of the monies as an expense.  Tax bills were in the name 
of the women's mother, Jane E. ADAMS, who had lived on the property.
The court overruled the objection because the party paying the taxes 
saved the property from a forced sale for the taxes and thus is entitled 
to be compensated.  Audit stands.
