Notes

The Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery was established in 1831. It was replaced by the Circuit Court in 1850.

For theses cases the court sat in chancery which meant it acted as a court of equity. Equity law is a body of legal and procedural rules and doctrines which supplement or override common and statute law to protect rights and enforce duties defined or fixed by substantive law. The court usually dealt with cases which did not need a jury, such as divorces or foreclosures. Orders are judgments based on those laws.

Includes a chancery order book, v. A-1, from the County Court.

Includes general indexes (which index v. A-1, 1-20). Vol. 1 also includes index.

Microfilm of original records at the Russell County Courthouse in Lebanon, Virginia.
