Equity Court Abstracts

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.

Supplemental of WBT-3, 360

Estate of Daniel RUNNER, son of Charity RUNNER, dec'd,
with John DeGRANGE as trustee.

Land - part of land was inherited from his mother and part was inherited 
from his brother, John RUNNER, dec'd, who had received his land from 
his mother also.

Abraham JONES, a free man, is petitioning the court for his mother, a
negro woman slave named SUEKEY, who was a slave for life of Charity RUNNER 
who left a provision in her will for SUEKEY.  The provision stated that Charity's
children, Daniel RUNNER, John RUNNER and Catharine ROHRER were to
keep and maintain SUEK during her natural life; hoever, none of the parties 
have supported Suek, who is now old and helpless, for more than two years
and no provision has been made for her.

Testimony was heard from John DeGRANGE who stated payment for maintenance
for SUEKEY had been provided up until 19 June 1847; John RUNNER died long
before his brother and his estate has already been settled; and Catharine ROHRER
is now dead and her estate has been willed to her son, Henry ROHRER.  He
further stated that 1/3 of monies due for SUEK should be paid by Henry ROHRER.
He also offered to take SUEKEY and maintain her comfortably for the sum of $50
per year which he felt was ample compensation as her son has placed her with
strangers and is not being cared for as well as she should be.

Abraham JONES was awarded $60 per year for the period 19 June 1847 through
19 November 1850 with Henry ROHRER to pay 1/3 of it out of the funds due him
and the other 2/3 to be taken from the proceeds before distribution to the heirs.

Petition of Henry CARTER

Trustees Dennis H. MAYNARD and Dawson V. HAMMOND made sale to
Henry CARTER for 216 acres in Liberty of which $8,329.50 has been 
paid with $3,552.15 remaining due.  Carter now claims he had no knowledge 
of any incumbrances, but has since been served with papers for water
rights whereby Isaac TYSON Jr. diverted the water from parts of
said land causing the land to be worth less than what he had agreed
to pay for it.  Carter asks for a decrease in price of the property.
Allen PAINE Jr, Basil DORSEY and Francis S. JONES also testified 
validating Carter's claim; auctioneer was Thomas CARR.  Basil testified
that he had heard Dawson V. HAMMOND say, at the tavern of Daniel
ROOT in Liberty, that Dawson did not believe there was any contract
between his uncle Dennis HOWARD, dec'd and Isaac TYSON Jr.
The court ruled that an abatement of $1,000 be made to Henry CARTER
against the purchase price.  Closed 1 Nov 1852.

Agreement to Isaac TYSON Jr. of Baltimore from Dennis D. HOWARD
for right of all the water of the Dollyhide Branch running through his
tract "Howard's Paradise" in the ditch or race as it is now dug with
right to enlarge it to width of six feet and also for the right at any
and all times for the next ensuing forty years to enter upon the premises 
to mend or clean said ditch or race provided not injury to any crop or
premises.  It is understood said water right is in connection with Tyson's 
mining rights at Richard COALES and will continue as long as the lease
granted Richard COALE shall continue.  Dated 17 Apr 1847.
