I have a sheriff's deed recorded November 29, 1851, and made "this nineteenth day
of July, 1851 between William K. Straight Sheriff of Dekalb County, Indiana and Sarah
Weeks of the County and State aforesaid." Whereas, the said Sarah Weeks obtained a
decree at the May Term 1851 of the Dekalb Circuit Court against Mary Weeks, George W.
Weeks, Josiah Weeks, Rebecca McDonald, Rufus McDonald, Mary Palmer, Nathan Palmer, Almyra
Bartlett and Silas Bartlett heirs at law of Luther B. Weeks deceased for the sum of six
hundred and thirty eight dollar, being the amount due on a mortgage executed by the said
Luther B. Weeks to the said Sarah Weeks and dated March 9th, 1846 wherein the said Luther
B. Weeks conveyed to the said Sarah Weeks the following described premises ..............
Can anyone tell me where I can obtain a copy of the above-mentioned decree from the May
Term 1851 court? Or the mortgage executed by Luther to Sarah? Also, I cannot find a
death date or place for Luther B. Weeks. There is a Luther B. Weeks and Mary Weeks listed
in the 1850 Newville, Dekalb, IN census. Any information on this would be greatly
appreciated.
