| 2927 | Thomas Selby vs. Philip Geines, 1850 Lawrence County IL Archives Court.....Geines, Thomas Selby V Philip 1850 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarch.org/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarch.org/il/ilfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Deb Haines http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00003.html#0000719 May 18, 2008, 2:05 am Source: Reports Of Cases Written: 1850 Thomas Selby, plaintiff in error, v. Philip Geines, defendant in error. Error to Lawrence. Relief will not be granted upon a bill where the answer denies the allegations of the bill, if the proof is loose and unsatisfactory.(a) The bill of complaint filed in this cause by Geines, shows that he was indebted to Selby in December, 1842, in the sum of $200, on a note drawing twelve per cent interest, which Selby wished to have secured by a mortgage on a farm, which was agreed to be given upon the conditions, that if Selby should attempt to enforce payment by foreclosure, that the land should be sold in a body, after it had been appraised by three disinterested individuals, and provided it brought two-thirds of its appraised value. That it was agreed by Selby that these conditions should be inserted in the mortgage, and that instructions were given to the person who drew the mortgage, to insert them, but that they were omitted, that Geines not being able to read the English language, misunderstood its terms. That both parties supposed the valuation laws were then in force, but their constitutionality being doubted, it was believed that the insertion of the terms of the law in the mortgage would be binding. That Selby attempted to foreclose his mortgage in 1846, when Geines obtained an order from the court, directing that Selby should comply with the above conditions; that thereupon Selby dismissed his bill, and obtained a judgment upon the note by a suit at law, and is seeking to evade the terms of the mortgage, by selling the land upon execution without appraisement, which proceeding this bill prays may be enjoined. A master in chancery allowed the injunction. Selby's answer admits the indebtedness of Geines, the recovery of the judgment, the attempt to sell upon execution, but denies the other charge in the bill, and insists that the mortgage contains all that the parties agreed upon, and truly sets forth the contract, and concluded with a prayer for a dissolution of the injunction. The testimony on the part of Geines shows that there was some dispute between himself and Selby, as to what the mortgage should contain. Geines insisted upon the insertion of the conditions, and Selby refused to admit them, but that the party who drew the mortgage is not certain whether it contained precisely the conditions insisted upon by Geines, but that he insisted that they should be there, and that he executed the mortgage with that understanding. The testimony on the part of Selby shows that the money was loaned, upon the condition that its payment should be secured by mortgage, without such conditions as Geines pretends; Geines observing at the time, that real estate in Illinois was the same as personal property in Ohio, that it could be sold for anything that was bid for it; that Selby should have a mortgage on lands and chattels worth $1,200, and that it would at any time sell for enough to pay the debts of Geines. At the September term, 1850, of the Lawrence Circuit Court, the injunction was perpetuated by Harlan, Judge, and a decree entered, directing the sale, en masse, of the lands mortgaged, after the same shall have been appraised, etc., etc. To reverse this decree Selby sued out this writ of error, and assigns for error the perpetuation of the injunction, and the decree directing that the lands shall be appraised, etc., etc. C. Constable and A. Kitchell, for plaintiff in error: The plaintiff in error had a right to pursue his remedy at law on his note, or by foreclosure of the mortgage, or both at the same time, and defendant had no right to set up the mortgage in restraint of the judgment, or compel him to collect it out of the mortgaged land only: Dunkley v. Van Buren, 3 John. C. R., 330; Jackson v. Hull, 10 John. R., 482; Delahay v. Clement, 3 Scam., 203. The bill was insufficient, because the complainant had no right to change the terms of the mortgage by parol evidence. There is no pretense of fraud, and there is no such mistake shown as entitles the complainant to change the mortgage by parol evidence: 1 Greenleaf's Ev., secs. 276, 282. The testimony of one witness is not sufficient to overthrow the answer of defendant: Gresley's Eq. Ev., 4, 5; reenleaf's Ev., sec. 206. U. F. Linder and J. G. Bowman, for defendant in error. Treat, C. J. The bill sets up, as the ground for relief, an express agreement of the parties?omitted by mistake to be inserted in the mortgage?to the effect that the mortgaged premises, in case of default in the payment of the note, should not be sold unless they would bring, en masse, two-thirds of the appraised value. The answer denies the allegation, and insists that the real agreement of the parties is correctly set forth in the mortage. The proof is altogether too loose and unsatisfactory to justify a decree reforming the mortgage, by the introduction of the provision alleged to have been omitted. At most, it only shows that the complainant was very anxious that the provision should be incorporated in the mortgage, and contended that such was the agreement of the parties, while the defendant insisted that no such agreement had been made. The mortgage was then drawn in the usual form, and executed by the complainant. It may, perhaps, have been his impression at the time that the mortgage contained the condition in question, or that the legal effect of the instrument would be what he desired, but there is no satisfactory proof of fraud or unfairness in the execution, or that it did not embrace all of the tipulations actually assented to by both of the parties. The decree of the Circuit Court will be reversed, and the bill dismissed, with costs. Decree reversed. ------------------------- (a) Relief will only be granted upon clear and satisfactory proof: Harris v. Reed, 5 Gil., 212; Ruffner v. McConnel, 17 Ill., 212.

| 2937 | Through the years we heard stories that the person who bought the old Brink place in Germany was a niece to our great-great-grandmother Anna Maria Brink. We were never able to piece it all together until recently. Anna Maria's sister Sophie married a Frederick W. Meinert. Thus, Eicksen #1 became the Meinert home instead of the Meier home and is known as the Meinert home to this day. Their daughter Caroline married Karl E. F. Bokemeyer, and they purchased the old Brink home. Karl E. F. is the great-grandfather of Heinz Bokemeyer, the current owner of the home. Karl E. F. was the son of Frederick Wilhelm Bokemeyer and An. Mar. Elisab. Dreiss. So Brink relatives still own the old home place in Germany. See Chapter 1 for more information on the old Brink home. | MEIER CAROLINE SOPHIE LOUISE (I02288)

| 2942 | Toenies (Tonies) was from Eicksen #6 by Rothenuffeln. He was baptized on 1 October 1748 in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bergkirchen. Apparently there were no male heirs for the family life and name was carried by the daughter, Anna Marie Engel Schnaken - the name in those days went with the house, rather than with the individual. So after Tonies Heinrich Brink married Anna Marie Schnaken, and having moved into her house, he was known as Tonies Heinrich Schnake, born Brink. He was a peasant farmer, Three children were born to this union. Information provided by Roy Johnson In 1773 Toenies Brink of Rothenuffeln married Anna Maria Engel Schnake, moved to farmstead no. 19 in Unterluebbe, and took the Schnake name. They bore two sons and a daughter. The oldest son inherited the No. 19 farmstead. Information provided by Roy Johnson In 1777 Anna Maria died and May 1777 Toenies married Anne Marie Ilsabe Stumpelmeyer. Since he lived at the Schnake farm he was still called Schnake, so was she, and so were their two sons and four daughters. Only one son, ernst Henrich, survived to adulthood. He moved to a new residence at No. 48 Unterluebbe. (The records show that as late as 1762, there were only 42 houses in the village, so we know this was a new residence.) In the late 1700s and early 1800s, new residences were being opened up. A new peasant category was created, that of "Neubauer" (New Farmer). These "new farmers" were given only a few acres, sometimes only a garden spot, to farm, and therefore had to work away from home as day laborers. Sometimes the grant was for military service. Apparently Ernst Henrich acquired one of these new houses. Since it was a new residence, it would not have a name, so Ernst Henrich kept the Schnake name instead of taking the name of the farmstead where he moved. This is an interesting situation, as the descendentws of this line have no actual Schnake ancestry before Toenies, but must trace their past family trees through the Brink and Stumpelmeyer lines. This is why I have referred to them as the "Brink-Stumpelmeyer Schnakes". Descendents who came to America include: Maria Schnake (Donnig, Fortmeier), b. May 24, 1822, Unterluebbe #43, d. May 12, 1917, USA. Emigrated early 1850s. M. Sophie Caroline Hehrt in New Minden, Illinois, 1866. I have two family histories from this line. One history is of the descendents of Henry F. and Caroline's fourth child, August Carl Schnake, supplied to me in 1972 by Pauline Schnake Pixley of Des Moines, Iowa. The other is of the ancestors of Marsha Schnake Anglin of Lebanon, Missouri, a descendent from another of Henry F.s offspring. Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Schnake b. August 8, 1841, Unterluebbe no. 43, Westphalia, Germany, emigrated before 1864, d. April 12, 1897 St. Louis, Missouri, m. Anna Elizabeth Kleiboeker b. December 25, 1838 d. 1929; marriage date February 8, 1864. Information came from Lois (Schnake) Stone of Newton Highlands, Massachusetts 3/1/96. She writes that he was a farmer and carpenter who loved to hunt and fish. He married Anna Elizabeth here; they bought a farm near Hoyleton, Illinois, and lost it because the person they bought it from did not have title. They moved to St. Louis and he worked as a carpenter. She came to USA on a ship at age 15 (1863) with a brother (records lost) and a friend. Information provided by Roy Johnson Anna Marie Engel Schnake and Toenies Brinck had a son, who inherited the estate, but she only lived a few years before she died in childbirth. Toenies kept the Schnake name and married again. There are at least two descendents from that marriage who came to the U.S. They have no Schnake ancestry at all but are named Schnake. So a large number of American Schnakes actually go back through the male line to Brink. Seems the records for a few of the local villages in this area of Germany were not kept with the records for the Bishopric of Minden, but rather in the smaller church of St. Martini. Back in the middle ages (1300s), a couple of local nobles rebelled against the Principality of Minden. they got their comuppance and lost their land. It became church property and the Bishop got permission from the Pope to set up a monastery and make this land monastery property. He set up the offices for the monastery of St. Martini but never got around to establishing the monastery itself. Instead, he took the land as his own private domain and used the monastery officials to collect the rents. The Schnake family and a lot of others in the villages of Unterluebbe and oberluebbe were serfs on this land, so they became serfs to the so-called "monastery" and their records were kept in the church of St. Martini, the "patron", I suppose, of this "monastery." When elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg (later Prussia) took this area over in 1848, it became protestanat (mostly) and he siezed the church property. However, using the "monastery" officials to collect the rent was handy, so he never abolished the "monastery" - no need to since it didn't exist anyway. His descendents became the kings of Prussia. The Schnakes and others were his serfs, but their landlord was listed as the "Monastery of St. Martini." This left an unusual situation - nearly unbroken set of records from the 1500s to the 1900s kept in one place. In the 1980s the St. Martini church opened its archives, and some local scholars wrote articles about the area, which were collected into a pamphlet. I have a copy of that pamphlet and a house-by-house listing of families in those two villages, plus some good articles about the area in general. Some of these I have translated and you will find links to them on the Schnake page. Brinks mostly did not live in Unterluebbe or Oberluebbe, as I recall. Still, there are some mentioned and I will check to see if there are more. These records pre-date the church records by a century or more.
