Notes

Roanoke was incorporated as a town in 1874 and as an independent city in 1884.

For these cases the Circuit 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.

Microfilm of original records at the Roanoke City Courthouse in Roanoke, Virginia.
