Here - this is from Howard Co Probate Volume 7, page 53, 4 Nov 1863. Gives some good relationships and maybe a couple of new names. Abram Enyart, Ebenezer Enyart, Will J Harvey, Mary B Enyart by Alfred McDaniel her guardian, Selah A Wright, Gideon Wright, Margaret Woods, Jno Woods, Catherine Botts, Howard Botts, petitioners against Elizabeth Haines, David Haines, unkown heirs of David Enyart, unknown heirs of Stephen Enyart, unknown heirs of Silas Enyart, Jno Enyart, James Enyart, Martha Ryan, Chas. Ryan, Wm J Ryan, James Ryan defendants. Petitioners make proof of publication of the order made herein at the last August term of this court and sd petition being heard by the court, court finds the Petitioners and the Defendants are distributees of the estate of Selah Enyart dec'd, of which Ebenezer Enyart is the admr, that as such they are entitled to distribution of the following slaves belonging to said estated, to wit: Harriett, Nick, Dudley, Sarah, George, Susan in the following proportions, to wit: Abram Enyart, Ebenezer Enyart, Mary B Enyart, Jas Enyart, Elizabeth HAines wife of David Haines, the unknown heirs of David Enyart, the unknown heirs of Stephen Enyart and the unknown heirs of Silas Enyart (each family collectively) are each entitled to 1/9 of sd slaves. Wm J Harvey, Selah A Wright wife of Gideon Wright, Margaret Woods wife of James Woods, Catherine Botts wife of Howard Botts are each entitled to 1/45 of the slaves and Martha Ryan, Chas Ryan, Wm Ryan and James Ryan each to 1/4 of 1/45 of sd slaves. Court being satisfied that partition of said slaves cannot be made, it is ordered that ebenezer Enyart admr of the estate sell sd slaves at public sale for each to the highest bidder on 10 January next. I am not sure which ones these are, thought all the names sound familiar (of course - they named everybody the same). But how I read this, strictly from the information here. Selah (-----) Enyart died some time prior to 1863. She had at one time had 7 children. (from a notation on page 40, 8 Sep 1863, Ebenezer was the administrator of the estate of Selah and Silas Enyart, so maybe she was the widow of Silas.) Abram, Ebenezer, Mary B unmarried and under age by Aug 1863, James, Elizabeth who maried David Haines prior to Aug 1863, David who died prior to Aug 1863, Stephen who died prior to Aug 1863, Silas who died prior to Aug 1863 and an unnamed daughter who married a somebody Harvey also deceased by Aug 1863. The deceased daughter had 5 children: Wm J Harvey, Selah A Harvey md to Gideon Wright by Aug 1863, Margaret Harvey married James Woods prior to Aug 1863, Catherine Harvey married Howard Botts prior to Aug 1863, and an unknown daughter who married somebody Ryan and then died. The unknown daughter married to Ryan (granddaughter of Sarah Enyart) left 4 children Martha Ryan, Chas Ryan, Wm Ryan and James Ryan. These four appear to be of age because no guardian is mentioned; however, Mary B their aunt appears to be under age because of the guardian. I have no answer for that. (August because that was the first time the petitioners went into court and contineud until Nov). >From other information, I believe (and underline believe as a guess) this is Celia Ann Best and Silas Enyart; Silas died in 1850, Celia Ann in 1863, their daughter son Humphrey md to Mary Wood in 1850 and so on. If so, this answers the question about Mary B Enyart being so young and her nieces and nephews being older. She was really the granddaughter and only heir of son Humphrey, also deceased before this. Anyone who can add to or correct my guesses and information here is welcome and requested to do so. Carolyn c.n.gibbons@worldnet.att.net
