Chancery papers, ca. 1805-1899

หมายเหตุ

Some documents are torn, have pieces missing, or handwriting has faded.

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.

Dates given are probably when the documents were recorded with the court or may be the case dates. Some documents may have earlier or later dates.

Contains loose documents consisting of petitions, decrees, receipts, bills, depositions, orders, reports of commissioners, administrators' settlements, and other papers.
