réf. 79363Four quit-claim deeds dating from the 1880s involving women in property transfers at a time when women’s property rights were severely restricted nationwide. A deed dated September 17 1885 recorded the purchase of a lot in Aspen by Mrs. Rilla Patten who paid $150 to J.C. Dodge for lot “L” in Block 99 in the town of Aspen. The city’s population exploded from 500 to 3500 between 1883 and 1885 reflecting the rapid development driven by the silver boom. On January 5 1865 Nanum Howe Rice and Eliza A. Rice husband and wife sold a "planing mill" and all its machinery in Denver Arapahoe County Territory of Colorado for $3000 to another party. He died in 1878. The additional deeds appear to show the sale and transfer of properties within families. On July 18 1887 another deed records the sale of mining property in Clear Creek County by Catherine M. Cowles for $1000 to Frederick Nelson. According to Ancestry records Nelson married Catherine K. Cowles in 1885. Her mother Catherine M Cowles died in 1884. On December 6 1883 John Hardenburgh sold to his wife Martha B. Hardenburgh an interest in several mining claims in Pitkin County Colorado and a lot in the town of Aspen for $1000. The couple was married in 1873 and she preceded him in death. Changes in property rights laws for women paved the way for these transactions. While still a territory Colorado adopted the Married Women's Property Act in 1861 which gave married white women the right to own property otherwise given to them. Before this time under coverture an English common law system married women could not own property control their wages be part of contracts and otherwise act autonomously to their husband's authority. Further in 1872 the Colorado Territory allowed any woman while married to “execute any bond bill promissory note or other instrument in writing for the direct payment of money; and if the consideration thereof went to the benefit of her estate.” By 1900 most states allowed married white women to own property but access to credit and mortgages without a male co-signer was a barrier for all women not addressed until the 1970s. unknown
