I have a copy of a quiet claim (title search) filing that is dated Adams
Cty,1911. However, the property in question goes back to 1850's. My surname,
GODARD, is listed second.Other names are:
EBENEZER JESSUP, GEORGE HEATH, EDWARD G. COXEN, J. W. MAJORS, DAVID
DELLINGER, JOHN SHRANK/SHRENK, JOHN W. ANDREWS, A.W. (AMOS) CHILCOTE, M.E.
SHRENK, NORMAN ACKER, J.L. HARPER, J.C. (JAMES) CASTO, ADAM AULT, HUGH
GILLIAND, ANTHONY MCQUEEN,JOHN M. ARCHER,IRA STEELE, GIDEON BARNETT, JOHN W.
HILL, ISAAC KIZER, HENRY C. STETTLER/STUTTLER, JOB C. HILL.
The wives' names are listed in some instances. Would love to hear from any
others who are decendants of these folks to gain a little background on thier
relationships.
Ebenezer Jessup and his brother Edward, were "front men" for buyers of large
parcels of land. They did this from CT, OH to IN and maybe other places too.
I suspect that all these folks were long deceased, and this claim was to
prohibit any further claims by heirs of these folks. I also suspect that E.
Jessup was the front man for the purchase of land for these folks when they
moved to Adams Co. Any ideas?
Title is
Charles W. Yager vs. Ebenezer Jessup et al.
