Cummings (Cummins) (Cumins) (Benjamin) SALISBURY
1814 - Ballston Spa, Saratoga, New York
Date: February 01, 1814
Location: New York
Paper: Saratoga Journal
This is another sheriff's sale notice — same type of record as your 1821 find, but seven years earlier, and it's a significant discovery because it shows Cummins Salisbury had earlier financial/ legal trouble too.
Transcription:
By virtue of a writ of fi. fa. issued out of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the state of New York, I shall expose to sale at public vendue on the tenth of February next, at one o'clock P.M. at Richie's Inn at Ballston Spa, the real and personal property of Cummins Salisbury, in the town of Greenfield — The real estate is bounded on the west by the Fisher Range, on the south by John Harris, on the east by Sax — Dated Dec. 28, 1813.
N. KETCHUM, Late Sheriff.
E. Rea, Dep'ty.
What it means:
"Writ of fi. fa." = a writ of fieri facias, the formal Latin name for the same kind of execution as your 1821 notice — a court order commanding the sheriff to seize and sell a debtor's property (both real estate and personal property this time) to satisfy a money judgment.
Issued out of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New York — this was New York's highest trial-level court at the time (not to be confused with today's "Supreme Court" naming, which in NY is actually the trial court — same name, same role continuity). This tells you the underlying lawsuit was significant enough to be in the state's principal court, not just a local justice's court.
Sale location: Richie's Inn, Ballston Spa — again, an inn as the public auction venue, standard practice.
Property: land in the town of Greenfield (Saratoga County), bounded by the "Fisher Range" (west), John Harris (south), and "Sax" (east) — likely an abbreviated surname (possibly Saxe/ Sacks, common in that area).
Dated Dec. 28, 1813, with the sale set for Feb. 10, 1814.
N. Ketchum, late Sheriff / E. Rea, Deputy — different sheriff and deputy than the 1821 notice (John Dunning/ Potter Johnson), confirming this is a separate, earlier event with different county officials.
