Reuben RANDALL
1828 Sheriff's sale notice

(Saratoga Sentinel, Jan 15, 1828) — the Sheriff's sale notice

This is a writ of execution notice: Lyman B. Langworthy, Sheriff of Saratoga County (with Luther Hulbert as deputy), announces a sale of land to satisfy a judgment in this equity case — costs, $65.05, plus one-sixth of the complainant's costs. The land is described as part of the same Kayaderosseras patent tract (Lot No. 2 of the subdivision of Lot No. 11 of the ninth allotment) that you've already been tracking through the Welch/ Mosher/ Salisbury mortgages — this confirms it's the very same family land. The notice states the commissioners in partition had assigned and set off one-sixth part of the premises belonging to unknown owners, subject to a mortgage William W. Welch had executed to Reuben Randall (Randall holding it as mortgagee in possession). The sale was scheduled for Wednesday, February 6, 1828, at Shepard's in Saratoga Springs.

This tells you Reuben Randall (husband of Deborah Mosher) held a mortgage interest as part of the family's shared land, and that by 1828 an outside partition action was working its way through the one-sixth shares tied up in unknown/ unresolved ownership — likely because some Mosher heirs' interests hadn't been clearly resolved.
