David BUDERBAUGH  vs  BUDERBAUGH, METZGER, STONEBRAKER, et al 
- Settlement of Contract - Jan 1840
[Equity - Book 3, 99-101]

13/ Samuel BUDERBAUGH, a minor
14/ Daniel BUDERBAUGH, a minor
15/ Ann BUDERBAUGH, a minor

(Name of David BRUMBAUGH was given in record heading,
but in reading the documents, it indicates he was David 
BUDERBAUGH, s/o Henry Sr.  All of the children appear 
to be listed in order with the exception of David who 
listed himself last, as orator.)
There doesn't appear to be any mention of a widow. 

Henry Sr owned 164 acres of which 136 acres was located 
in Washington County, MD; the remaining acres were in 
Pennsylvania.  David claimed he purchased the tract of 
land from Henry Sr for $6,160 in yearly payments and 
written contract was made, but Henry died shortly thereafter.

Daniel ZOUCK was named guardian for the minors in April,
but Daniel SCHNEBLY was made guardian in November.  It 
seems to end here noting the minors should appear within
six months after they arrive of age; dated Nov 1840.

"Costtey", 150 acres; listed boundaries to land deeded to George 
BRAGMIRE (PRAGMIRE?) and Henry BRAGMIRE by Jacob DICK, by tract 
"Renches Luck", east bank of Licking Creek, north bank of Sam's Run.

Christian died owning a 7/8 undivided part of real estate described 
in a Deed (SBNN-1, 299) dated 10 Apr 1858 by Frederick GELWICK to 
William MUMMERT and adjoining the lands of Jonathan SOOSE.  Christian 
was in possession of the property for over 21 years with no dispute.  

The other 1/8 undivided part was owned by Nancy GELWICK.  Nancy 
and her husband, Frederick GELWICK (of Franklin Co, PA) conveyed 
said 1/8 undivided interest to William MUMMERT.

(Since Christian DICK owned 7/8 undivided interests, he probably 
purchased the interests from his other siblings and are probably 
recorded in the land records.)

David and Rachel DICK sold their interest to Joseph EICHELBERGER 
in Apr 1854 (JN-9, 54); and Joseph resold these interests to William 
MUMMERT, but Joseph died before the deed was recorded.  

John DICK sold his interests to William MUMMERT but went to Ohio
