Christian KEMP vs Charles CUMMINGHAM

John TRAMMELL, deceased daughter Sarah w/o Lindsey DELASHMUTT their son, Trammell DELASHMUTT

In John TRAMMELL's will, he left 100 acres of timberland to his grandson Trammell DELASHMUTT, tract "Trammell's Conoy Islands". The island was in the Potomac and on the east side of Kittocton (Catoctin) Mountain lying between Sweed's Folly and the Potomock River at the Point of Rocks. He was to make town lotts and streets and sell for eight silver dollars per lott, each lott being 60x120; ground rent 18 shillings sterling. Through various transactions, Christian KEMP is now in possession; however, Charles CUNNINGHAM also claims a part of this tract and division has not been made and Cunningham refuses to divide.

John TRAMMELL also gave his grandson, Trammell DELASHMUTT, his slaves, negro Isabella and her seven children: Morris, George, Tom, Clary, Loyd, Daniel and Rachel. His will was signed 1 Jan 1784. 

The court had the land divided and the surveyor was David BOWLUS; case closed Jan 1820.
