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.

To Jerome PETCHER from George W. ETZLER & w/ Margaret C. 
in 1882 [AF-9, 324];
and from John RITCHIE (Equity #4168) (metes and bounds).
Mortgaged for $200 to George ANGEL.

SALE was hled 31 Dec 1887 at JOHNSTON's Store in Johnsville; 
high bidder was: 
- Edward O. HAHN at $325.25

Melissa J. PETCHER, wife of Jerome, protested the sale, claimed 
the title wasn't good because it wasn't recorded until six months 
after the mortgage.  She also claimed she purchased the property 
at the sale for $330 and was the highest bidder; however, George 
ANGEL refused to acknowledge her and resold it for less.  She 
further claimed there had not been any default on the note and 
she had made arrangements to pay for the purchase.

George ANGEL claimed Jerome PETCHER and his then wife Catharine 
(d/o George ANGEL) purchased the property in 1882 and he (George) 
had provided the money.  A deed was conveyed to Catharine but never 
recorded.  Upon his daughter's death bed, she asked for it not to be 
recorded, but instead to be conveyed to her husband Jerome PETCHER, 
the father of Ettie E. PETCHER.  
A deed was then issued to Jerome in Jan 1883 by the Etzlers and the 
mortgage at the same time and both were filed timely.

The court ruled that Melissa, the current wife of Jerome, pretended to 
bid, but never provided the $50 deposit required and she also stated she 
didn't know if she could get the money.  
Further, if the title was for the the first wife, then Jerome would only 
have a life estate and the child would have the land upon the death of 
her father.  The court overruled the objections and ratified the sale.

Distribution after costs: 
- George ANGEL for partial mortgage, $223.44
Closed 14 Jun 1889.
