Homer Willmarth (Town of Barrington)
-> William Rooney (Chicago) |
Quitclaim of interest for a mortgage |
Document does not specifically refer to a legal property description, but rather a mortgage dated 5/1/1863 that was recorded prior to the 1871 Chicago Fire. There is not any reference to Homer Willmarth to any property other than the Mt. Prospect farm owned by John Rooney. William and Julia Rooney assisted their son John with regard to Willmarth transactions. Therefore, it is presumed to refer to that property, especially since there is a verified loan with the same date. However, it's possible this document is for a different, perhaps not yet verified, property.
Willmarth quitclaimed to William Rooney his interest in a mortgage dated 5/1/1863 consisting of two promissory notes of $750 and $700 for total of $1,450. |
