On the same day. William and Amelia J. Elliott (at one point it says William B. Elliott but at another point the "B" is crossed out, it looks like this mortgage includes their son William B. Elliott) executed a $400 mortgage from Samuel W. Freeny on the south side of the street dividing the states in Delmar, MD. Freeny noted in the record he was released of the mortgage on Dec 23 1897.
