Susanna KARHN 8. Ann KARHN Administrators were Jacob CARN and Solomon SHUE. His daughter Magdalena died before her father and her husband, Solomon SHUE, was guardian for their children. The sale of the estate brought $1,265.11 ($158.03 each). Final distribution dated 10 April 1806 gave the widow $208.01 and each living child $52.00. Solomon SHUE d/ before Sep 1815 intestate, leaving widow - Elizabeth (b/ 29 Sep 1777 per John KOONTZ) and 6 children, 1. Jacob SHUE, a minor 2. Solomon SHUE, a minor 3. Rebecca SHUE, a minor 4. Mary Ann SHUE, a minor 5. Christiana SHUE, a minor 6. John Alexander SHUE, a minor On 3 Nov 1815, Elizabeth SHUE was appointed guardian for her children; later, John FRY was appointed as guardian for Jacob SHUE; and Daniel HOLTZAPPLE for Solomon SHUE; administrator was John H. SIMMONS. Solomon owned a Flaxseed oil mill with a stone mill house and 28 acres in the neighborhood of Mr. Brown's factory. He was, however, indebted to John KOONTZ for the mortgage and a date of nonpayment is listed as 26 Sep 1811 (which may indicate a closer time to his death??). John KOONTZ had also signed as security for the minor's bond of Solomon's children. Elizabeth SHUE allowed the sale of her dower with the real estate to settle accounts. The estate was sold to John H. SIMMONS for $1,500 on 26 Dec 1815; but the debts still exceeded the proceeds. The widow did receive 1/7, $85, before disbursement of debts. (In Maryland German Church Records, Vol. 6, pg. 21, Soloman Schuck and Elizabeth Kuntz were married 1 Oct, 1805 at the Evangelical Reformed Church, Frederick Maryland) ========================== www.MidMdRoots.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
