Equity Court Abstracts
AF-1

These are abstracts from Equity Court Records of Frederick County, Maryland, Liber AF-1; 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.

Land was sold to Joseph KELLER at $580; who borrowed the money from

prevent her from obtaining dower rights, he had William C. HOFFMAN and 
others convey the land to Philip B. KUNKEL in Oct 1864 [JWLC-2, 158].  

KELLER also assigned notes he held over to KUNKEL towards the monies 
he now owed KUNKEL.

KELLER in 1864 and also had this conveyed to KUNKEL for the $400 
to his son.  KUNKEL sold the lot for $650 and kept all of the money.

Joseph C. KELLER made numerous payments to repay the monies to 
KUNKEL who was also receiving rents as well.  

Joseph C. KELLER attempted to get the property back from Kunkel 
claiming credits to him were overpaid and Kunkel hadn't given any of 
the monies to him.  After numerous witnesses pro and con, the court 
dismissed the case claiming he had not established sufficient proof.

Case was appealed in Apr 1877 and was reversed and sent back to the 
Circuit Court.  They then determined Joseph C. KELLER had paid back 
all the monies and ordered KUNKEL to convey the property to KELLER.
