Hi Coco,
You post concerning the trials and tribulations of New Jersey are interesting and fit with someof the information that I have acquired, although the plaintiff was probbly Peter's brother. Wish I could find the original suit in the New Jersey records. Maybe someone else has a copy of it. Here is what I have:
"Sometime before 1749, Peter moved to Frederick County, Maryland. The law suit brought against him by Henry Hartsoke (his brother/) states that he was late of Frederick County. This may be a continuation of the lawsuit Howard Dale Hartough described in his book that was filed in New Jersey by Handrick against his brother Peter. I have not been able to find the record of that suit. Mary Mae Hartsough transcribed the suit below and although a great deal is unreadable, it looks as if there was a settlement of the grievance.
"Judgement Records, Frederick Co. 1748-50. June Court 1749. Page 73.
