Equity Court Abstracts Book WIP-5 - 1877-1890 Frederick County, Maryland
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.

CASTLE filed petition stating he has discovered the property on the east side of Market St has a defective title. He references a deed from Charles E. TRAIL as trustee to E. E.

TRAIL was to sell the property and distribute the proceeds among the heirs of Edward TRAIL, dec'd, the former owner. MD law then required TRAIL to file a bond before any title passed to him but never did, nor did he report any sale to the court for ratification; therefore Beall H. WHALEN had no legal title and clear title cannot be obtained by petitioner. However, in Equity #5569, the title was ratified and clear title can now be provided. Objection was withdrawn.

Total Sales, $5,623.01. 

Charles A. CASTLE filed petition stating he has discovered the 
property on the east side of Market St has a defective title. 
He references a deed from Charles E. TRAIL as trustee to E. E. 
DELASHMUTT dated 30 Mar 1880 [AF-1, 458]; whereby TRAIL as trustee 
in execution of trusts declared in Deed of Trust from Lydia C. TRAIL 
and Others to him dated 16 Dec 1879 [AF-1, 77].  TRAIL was to sell 
the property and distribute the proceeds among the heirs of Edward 
TRAIL, dec'd, the former owner.  MD law then required TRAIL to file 
a bond before any title passed to him but never did, nor did he report 
any sale to the court for ratification; therefore Beall H. WHALEN had 
no legal title and clear title cannot be obtained by petitioner.
However, in Equity #5569, the title was ratified and clear title can 
now be provided.  Objection was withdrawn.

Audits on pages 467-468.

Distribution of $5,622.88, after costs, went to 60 creditors at 93% 
of their claims.
