Is this Your Ancestor? June 1879: Hugh Russell to Sarah Aldritt. Chattel Mortgage
While
antique hunting I was lucky enough to come across several documents
from 1879. Not wanting them to be lost, I purchased them with the plan
of publishing them here on my Olive Tree Genealogy blog and on my Olive Tree Genealogy website.
I'm also going to offer the originals for sale on my Antique Hunter blog, so stay tuned as I publish each document! This document is a Chattel Mortgage.
Definition of a Chattel Mortgage: A
term used to describe a loan arrangement in which an item of movable
personal property is used as security for the loan. Source:

14 June 1879: Hugh Russell to Sarah Aldritt. Chattel Mortgage to secure the sum of $244.00, Due 14 June 1880
Abstract:
Hugh Russell of the Township of Delaware, County of Middlesex to Sarah
Aldritt of the Village of Aylmer in the County of Elgin, widow.
Sarah is putting up horses, cows, calves, wagons and farm equipment as collateral for the loan.
Witnessed by William Augustus Glover of the Village of Aylmer, Elgin County
Lorine's
Research: In November 1882 the widow Sarah Aldrit [sic] of Aylmer,
Elgin County died at the age of 74. She is noted as being born in the
United States. Her son's name is recorded as T. H. Davis. That clue
(Davis) led me to Sarah Davis, widow, born in USA, age 73 living in
Aylmer, Elgin County in 1881.
Marriage
records show that in 1861 Sarah Davis, age 52, born New York and living
in Malahide Twp Elgin County married James Aldritt. 1851 Census for
Malahide shows Sarah Davis, born New York, age 42, widow with Emeline
Davis and Truman Davis (age 21 and no doubt the T.H. Davis who was the
informant at Sarah's death)
