Chancery causes are cases of equity. According to Black's Law Dictionary they are "administered according to fairness as contrasted with the strictly formulated rules of common law." A judge, not a jury, determines the outcome of the case. They typically deal with cases relating to divisions of estates or land, disputes over wills, divorces, debt, and business disputes. Chancery causes were heard and judged in Chancery Court, which was established in 1831 replacing the Superior Court of Law. In 1851 the Circuit Court replaced Chancery Court, however chancery causes continued to be heard on the local level. The chancery court's functions are distinct from those of common law courts, which can order money damages to be paid, and where jury trials are available. The division between chancery and equity courts is partly based on the old English legal system. However, the original reason for the division between courts, which was so that law courts could follow statutory rules and equity courts could rule on issues of fairness, has been mostly lost. Chancery courts still exist in a few U.S. states today (check with the individual court for an exact list of what types of cases it hears). In other states, chancery court functions have been merged into the regular law courts' activities. �Scope and Content The Chancery Records unit house various documents relating to the Chancery Court in Rockingham County from the 19th century to the mid 20th century. However, a majority of the records date between 1910 and 1930. A large portion of this collection consists of the individual causes brought before the judge, along with their supporting documentation. Causes are arranged chronologically, and alphabetically by plaintiff last name. In most cases, the individual documents can be found: a "true bill" (plaintiff's complaint), answers (defendant's response), decrees (court's decision), depositions, affidavits, correspondence, lists of heirs, deeds, wills, slave records, business records or vital statistics, among other items. In addition to Chancery causes, the Chancery records contains Chancery Rule Books, Chancery Court Dockets, and Chancery Order books. Rule Books contain the records of the session of Court where complainant(s) began the process to have a suit heard. The Court Docket offers a brief record of court proceeding, and the Order books served as a synopisis of all matters brought before the court when it was in session. Because of the wealth of information these documents provide, geneologist and researchers will find them to be of great use. Arrangement This unit is arranged into two series: Chancery Causes and Chancery Books. The Chancery Causes are arranged chronoligically based on the year the case was filed, and alphabetically based on the last name of the plaintiff. If the plaintiff is a business or corporation, the first letter in the name of the business if used. Because the original order had been lost, the archivist felt this was the most logical and user friendly way to arrange the records. Additionally, it should be made clear that a large portion of Chancery Causes for Rockingham county prior to 1900 are housed by the Library of Virginia and are accessible through their online index here: https://www.virginiamemory.com/collections/chancery/ All bound volumes are grouped according to same original purpose and arranged chronoligically. Processing Information From 2015-2019 the archive was largely run by student volunteers untrained in archival arrangement and description. As a result, the records had been stored without clear organization. Any underying sytem already in place was unclear. �Contents Series I: Chancery Causes Series Identifier Year 18th Century 1805-1817 1818-1869 1870-1889 1890-1894 1895-1896 1897 1898 1899 (A-S) 1899

In 1780, Harrisonburg was Note named the county seat and incorporated as a town. The county is named for Charles WatsonWenworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham. Since its establishment, many individuals have called Rockingham County their home, and unsprisingly, the record of land is quite extensive. Because of this, the Land Records collection houses many different types of records �Scope and Content The records housed within the Land Records collection vary, and a great deal of information can be found here. All deeds, land indentures, land petitions, maps, and land tax books can be found here. Our Maps series consists of maps, relating to the creation of the town of Shendun, Grottoes, and the Shenandoah National Park. The Land Indenture series houses all indentures of land made in the County of Rockingham from 1778-1850. A land indenture can be defined as a legal contract between two parties representing the pledge, promises, and covenants of its issuing parties. In many ways, land indentures resemble (and often act as) deeds. Petitions vary in their reasons, but many of them were created as "attachments against property." Finally, the Land Tax Books hold annual lists of land owners for Rockingham County from 1778 to present. Information recorded in Virginia land tax records changes relatively little from 1782 to the present. The early laws required the tax commissioner in each district to record in "a fair alphabetical list" the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned, the value of the land or lots, and the amount of tax owed. Each tract or lot owned by an individual was to be entered separately. As time went on, some additional information was included such as wether the estate was held in fee or for life, distance from the courthosue, and an explanation of alterations to the land. Land owned by African Americans began to be listed seperatley within each district in 1891. Deed books are arranged chronologically and are readily available on the first floor of the courthouse in our Geneology room. Each deed book is also indexed and easily searchable through our inhouse information management system. For this reason, they do not appear on this finding aid. The Land Indentures and Land Petitions series are arranged chronologically, and alphabetically by the last name Arrangement of the Grantor. All Land Tax books are arranged chronologically.

Beginning in the mid 17th century, local courts took over the responsibility of accessing property and land, but in 1786 the position of Commissioner of Revenue was established. Each year, the Commissioner assessed taxes, and then submitted copies to the Clerk of the court, which resulted in the many tax-related documents housed by the Circuit Court. It was also (and still remains) the duty of the Commissioner to administer business licenses to individuals, and once again, a certified copy was required to be filed with the Clerk of the court. The County Treasurer was tasked with recording all taxes collected, and in turn, provided a certified copy to the court. Many of the records in this group are created by the Commissioner of Revenue or County Treasure, but as copies to be maintained by the Circuit Court. Scope and Content The follow record group consists of personal property tax books from 1788-1870, delinquent tax lists from 1870-1938, capitation tax records from 1904-1933, county treasure tax books from 1877-1931, sundry receipts, bills, and fines collected by the county, licenses issued, costs allowed by the courts of Rockingham County from 1816-1877, and records detailing taxes belonging to the commonwealth from 18701929. These records provide information of the wealth, economic activity, race, and occupations of my Rockingham County residents from the 18th-20th century. �Arrangment Geographic Name There are nine series within this unit: Personal Property tax Lists, Delinquent Tax Lists, Capitation Tax Books, County Treasurer tax Books, Miscellaneous records, Claims Allowed, Fines Collected, Licences Granted, and Taxes Belonging to the Commonwealth.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Overseers of the Poor: Indentures of Apprenticeship Description An account of the resource Series III is comprised of Rockingham County Indentures of Apprenticeship, which were formal contracts created by the overseers to bind poor or orphaned children to a "master" with who they would learn a trade. Their term generally lasted until the age of twenty-one for males and eighteen for females. Trades were typically determined by the apprentice's sex as well. Active labor and semi-skilled artisan positions were reserved for males, while females often served their term learning to sew, spin, knit, or domestic labor.<br /><br />For more information on the Overseers of the Poor collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aid</a>" tab in the menu above.
