Hello to all of you listers! I am new to this list and have been just
reading your postings and hoping I can learn something. I find your board very
interesting and in depth. I am not back in years that some of you are, but
only in the 1700 to 1800 hundreds, and dealing with German immigrants in the
City of Baltimore, Maryland.

Sometime ago you had a discussion on the word "Alias: and what it meant
when used on different legal papers. I have ancestor who in 1800 appeared to
turn over all of his financial records, and place in the hands of a Bishop
Carroll from the diocese of Baltimore. He also included a Michael Riddlemoser in
this deed of trust. He said he wanted everything to go to his wife and
children and that Michael and the Bishop would see to it that it was done. He
had given power of attorney to his wife, Michael Riddlmoser, his son and
son-inlaw. Within the deed of trust was his name "Jacob Nussear Jr." At the end
of the legal paper it was signed by Jacob Alias Jr. This has been very
confusing to me as he had signed other papers with his name. "Jacob Nussear Jr". I
know his wife's name was Elizabeth Riddlemoser.. This deed was preceded by
several deed of trusts given to his family. He stated in those he was
"heretofore moving" and had turned everything over to Michael Riddlemoser and the
rest of his family.

If you have any ideas what this might mean I would really appreciate
anything you could suggest. It has been a big mystery and I have tried some other
avenues, but no answers. Perhaps it means nothing. I have looked ahead and
behind and cannot come up with a feasible answer. I hope I have written this
clearly enough as sometimes it is hard to get down on paper when I am
confused! Hopefully I won't confuse any of you. Thanks for anything. I would
appreciate any suggestion! Sharon J. Phoenix, AZ
