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 purchaser.

Testimony was heard 13 Nov 1886 from: 
- John H. HILL, age 40, resided in Utica Mills; stated he had bid 
  for Catharine TODD, but Mr ROGERS told the auctioneer to substitute 
  him for Mrs. TODD; then Mr ROGERS and his brother and the 
  auctioneer got into a carriage and drove off to Frederick together.

  His uncle was John C. ROGERS; his brother was R. D. ROGERS; 
  the auctioneer was John L. HILL; and Benjamin F. HAUSE was a 
  miller.  Stated Mr. TODD had asked him to deed the store property 
  to them and take the rest for the mortgage.  Mrs. TODD told him it 
  had been their home for many years and they wanted to remain there.
  In a later converstion with Mrs. TODD, she told him times were hard, 
  they had lost their only son and very recently also lost a daughter 
  (one of their daughters was Grace who  had been ill).  Mr. Charles 
  SNOOK had offered $900 for the store property for Mrs. TODD because 
  they were old friends and neighbors.  ROGERS discovered the insurance 
  and taxes had not been paid and the grain elevator, large bin and other 
  items had been removed after the sale; he evidently declined the offer.

The court overruled the objections.  William P. MAULSBY Jr., Esquire, 
was appointed trustee to convey the deeds.
John G. ROGERS then had to petition the court to have the TODDs 
removed from the property as they had refused to leave the premises.
