Land - "Ohio", 22 acres, from William OWINGS (executor and devisee of Samuel OWINGS of Baltimore County), where John ESTERLINE now lives. - also "Gotham" and "Palentine" The sheriff was unable to find the widow to serve her a summons. Trustee was John H. HOPPE; on 21 Feb 1833, sale made to Jacob EVERHART and George MATHIAS Jr. at $2,276.64; but Everhart agreed for Samuel W. MEYERS to replace him as one of the buyers. MEYERS' part was 175+ acres; George MATHIAS Jr.'s part was 42+ acres. On 11 Sep 1834, Adam BISH testified Jacob RUMBER was 40 years old and not very harty; he was allowed 3/8 of Elizabeth's share, $110.57. Jacob's widow, Elizabeth, was allowed 1/3 of 1/7, $99.78. Each 1/7 share was $299.36. The Alwood's share is being held in litigation as the deed to Gill/Gitt was done in PA and amount was grossly low.
