Notes
Microfilm of original records at the Hardy County Courthouse in Moorefield, West Virginia.
Hardy County was part of Virginia until 1863 when it became part of West Virginia.
The Superior Court of Law was established in 1808 and was replaced in 1831 by the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery. The Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery was abolished in 1851 and its functions were assumed by the Circuit Court.
For these 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.
Contains orders or minutes.
