Notes |
- These are abstracts from Equity Records of Frederick County, Maryland, Liber JS-1; many times other surnames are listed in the text other than the plantiff and defendant. Some of the listings are quite informative while others that ended dismissed may only have the date and name of plantiff and defendant. However, each one holds a story.

Folio 452-465 dtd 11 Jun 1819
George & Maria Margaret MILLER vs Jacob M. BUCKEY
Matthias BUCKEY, died intestate
children - Michael and Jacob
Land, tract "Resurvey on Meadow" adjoins north side of Patrick Street, same as deed conveyed 23 Dec 1791 from Michael RAYMER to Matthias BUCKEY, 3/4 acre and all lots, 1 1/2 acres each; lot 1/4 acre, tract "Tasker's Chance" conveyed by James BEATTY, deed 5 Apr 1804 to Matthias; part "Tasker's Chance" by Alexander Contee HANSON, Chancellor of State to Matthias for 96 sq perches and part "Resurvey on Meadow" by Henry ZEALER, deed 2 Jun 1796, 5 acres; and part "Mountain Tract", 78 acres, part "Resurvey on Meadow", 3/4 acre on south side of Patrick Street on 23 Dec 1791 from Michael RAYMER to Matthias; part "Resurvey on Meadow", 1 1/2 acres on 22 Sep 1792 by Michael HAASS to Mathias; and part "The Mountain Tract", 78 acres.
This property was left to Matthias' sons jointly. Indenture was made between Michael & Jacob to divide land on 12 Jan 1814; Michael's wife was Catherine, Jacob's was Maria Margaret. On deed 8 Feb 1812, Jacob purchased property from Eleanor & William POTTS, executors of Richard POTTS for $550.00. But then -
Jacob BUCKEY, d/ Feb 1817, intestate
widow - Maria Margaret
only child - Jacob Michael, minor
It appears Maria Margaret was a very young widow with an infant and she, herself, was not of age (under 21). She is now married to George MILLER and is filing for 1/3 dower. Guardian appointed was Peter BRENGLE. The land had to be surveyed by Peter MANTZ and her dower was laid out in two sections: one 26 acre piece of "The Mountain Tract", and 110 perches of part "The Meadow" and part "Tasker's Chance"; case closed 20 Oct 1819.
