Equity WBT-3

These are abstracts from Equity Court Records of Frederick County, Maryland, Liber WBT-3; 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.

Susan KINNA was represented by Samuel YASTE who petitioned the court that her

husband had cruel, barbarous and intemperate habits and she was separated for her 
safety.  Samuel KINNA was subpeoned for testimony and denied everything, but stated
he had not been a drining man for upwards of twelve months and has never been under
the influence of liquor.  He also stated he occasionally "frolicked" but never treated
his wife otherwise than with greatest affection and respect.  He also claimed he was
now a housekeeper and his four oldest children were living with him and being supported
by him; the youngest was with its mother.  He claimed he had asked her to return, but
she refused; and he also felt the monies  were his property in right of his wife and he
had right to demand them.

Adam ROUTZAHN claimed he is entitled to three other shares of the estate besides
his wife's share which the Routzahns signed over to Sifford as collateral until their
purchase money has been paid to the estate.  He claimed purchase of shares from
George POFFENBERGER (for $1,300), Andrew POFFENBERGER (for $1,300) and 
Jonathan POFFENBERGER (for $1,600).
