Equity TG-2

These are abstracts from Equity Court Records of Frederick County, Maryland, Liber TG-2; 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.

Albinia was liable for the difference in the sale price and fees.

to enter into contract without her husband's approval.

was present at the sale and the couple moved into the house and thus 
should be liable for the difference in the sale price.

Albinia and Daniel BISER evicted from the property he now owned.
