    RULES. HE WAS APPOINTED MESSENGER TO THE ASSN. WITH BENJAMIN

    MANAGEMENT WILL NOT ALLOW THE BOOKS TO BE EXAMINED. (PROBABLY
    DUE TO THE DISAGREEMENT/ SCHISM IN THE CHURCH IN THE 1820'S.)

    20. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MONTGOMERY County, OHIO: SUMMONS
    ANSWERED FIRST TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER, 1818: SUIT BROUGHT BY

    JOHN SHANKS 30 OCT., 1818. BOTH APPEARED "IN THEIR PROPER PERSONS"
    AND THE CASE WAS CONTINUED UNTIL THE 3RD MONDAY IN APRIL, 1819.
    (NOTE: JOHN SHANKS MARRIED ABNER'S DAUGHTER,ELIZABETH.) ON THE

    OFTEN...REQUESTED" "HAVE ALTOGETHER REFUSED & STILL DO REFUSE".
    VANDERVEER INFORMS THE COURT "SAID ABNER GARARD DIED" ..."SINCE
    THE LAST CONTINUANCE OF THIS DAY." (SO ABNER DIED BETWEEN NOV.,
    1818 AND APRIL, 1819.) THE CASE WAS CONTINUED. ON THE 3RD MONDAY
    IN AUGUST, 1819, JOHN SHANKS, BY HIS ATTORNEY, WAS ORDERED TO PAY
    VANDERVEER THE DEBT AND $61.35 FOR DAMAGES AND $12.29 FOR
    VANDERVEER'S COSTS. NO RECORD HAS BEEN FOUND TO SHOW IF THE DEBT
    WAS PAID. IF WOULD HAVE BEEN A MONUMENTAL ONE FOR A YOUNG FAMILY
    MAN TO PAY.

    AND WILLIAM BUCKLES, ADMINISTRATORS RESULTED IN PROCEEDS DUE THE
    ESTATE OF $1036.71. (JONATHAN WAS ABNER'S SON;WILLIAM BUCKLES
    WAS HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.) IT IS POSSIBLE BUT NOT LIKELY THAT
    ABNER'S BROTHER, JONATHAN, WOULD HAVE COME UP FROM HAMILTON County,
    OHIO, TO ADMINISTER THE ESTATE.)

    23. TOTAL DEBTS OF JUST UNDER $1500. WERE DECLARED BY JONATHAN
    GERARD AND WILLIAM BUCKLES.

    MORTGAGED HIS LAND 29 SEPT., 1814, FOR $800 FOR 60 ACRES; HE WAS

    TRANSACTION WAS WITNESSED BY JOHN SHANKS AND JONATHAN
    GARRARD. HILLMAN WAS TO PAY ABNER $120. BY 1 APRIL 1816. THE LAND
    WAS DESCRIBED WRONG; ABNER NEVER GAVE HIM A DEED. THE COURT
    PROCEEDING WAS TO SETTLE THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LAND. (JUNE TERM
    1822 CHANCERY COURT.)

    HEIRS DESCRIBED:

    WILLIAM MCCAMPBELL, AND HENRY, THOMAS J., MARTHA, NOW MRS.
    RICHARD BOLAND, AND MILTON SIGN. (ESTABLISHES THAT THEY WERE ALL

    26. MONTGOMERY County DEED BOOK M. P. 203: JOHN A. GERRARD AND
    MARGARET HIS WIFE OF MIAMI COUNTY"- GIVE MARGARET'S NAME.

    27. ABNER'S ESTATE SHOWS THAT HE HAD ACQUIRED CONSIDERABLE
    WEALTH, AND THE PRICES PAID FOR SOME OF HIS POSSESSIONS INDICATE
    HOW DEAR THEY WERE. THE SINGLE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM SOLD WAS A
    WAGON, SOLD TO JACOB WILTSE FOR $76.50. OBVIOUSLY AS LATE AS
    1819, TRANSPORTATION WAS STILL PRIMITIVE. A SORREL MARE WENT FOR
    $60.50; A BAY HORSE FOR $55.67, AND WILLIAM LUCE BOUGHT A SORREL
    COLT FOR $45.50. BY CONTRAST, A COW AND A CALF WENT FOR $21.51.
    BEDS AND "SPREADS" ("REAL BEDS?") WERE SOLD FOR $12.06 AND $13.00
    WHILE A "BEDSTEAD AND CORD" WERE ONLY $2.63. A CLOCK, WHICH MUST
    HAVE BEEN A RARITY, WENT FOR $16.00, WHILE A LOOKING GLASS WENT
    FOR $2.00. EDWARD MITCHELL PAID $7.69 FOR THE LARGE BIBLE (AND
    PERHAPS TOOK IT WITH HIM TO INDIANA?). THE GARARD FARM MUST HAVE
    BEEN SELF-SUSTAINING AS THERE WERE TOOLS FOR CLEARING,
    CULTIVATING AND HARVESTING, AND LIVESTOCK--TWELVE GEESE, THE
    THREE HORSES, EIGHT SHEEP,THREE COWS WITH CALVES, THREE HEIFERS,
    TWO WHITE STEERS, THREE SOWS, ONE SOW WITH PIGS, ONE BOAR AND
    ELEVEN SHOTE (?). ABNER MUST HAVE TAKEN HIS COWS TO A NEIGHBOR TO
    BREED AS THERE'S NO BULL LISTED. JONATHAN BOUGHT THE LAST ITEM ON
    THE LIST, A BARREL OF WHISKY , FOR $3.06 AND ONE/FOURTH CENT IT
    MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR MARTHA TO SEE ALL THESE TREASURED
    POSSESSIONS GO, ESPECIALLY THE BIBLE AND DICTIONARY. MAYBE
    EDWARD MITCHELL GAVE HER THE USE OF THE BIBLE DURING HER LIFETIME.

    28 MARTHA COULD WRITE. SHE SIGNED A RECEIPT FOR $35. AS HER SHARE
    OF THE ESTATE 22 JAN., 1821.

    The 1699 birthdate as given on the PAF cannot be correct as Rev. John
    would be 86 upon his last child's birth. Nancy (Ann) was born ca 1785.
    The date of 1720 is probably closer to the truth.

    Families tied into the Gerards (directly or indirectly) were the Van
    Metre, Dubois, Sheperd, Hite..pps. 254-264 from West Virginia Families
    show origins of these families as being near Pelmel , along the
    Potomoc
    R. , in Prince Georges County, Md; earlier origins might have been Salem
    County,
    N.J., even earlier in Long Island, N.Y.
