Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Description
An account of the resource
The first series of <span>the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. </span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.<br /><br />For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.<br /><br />I<span>n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

. Florence Forrer , vho file thiB motion upon be-
half of themselv es and the other heirs at law and distribu tees
of Charles i . R~rnsbe rger, deceased , praying said Court to disapprove and to decline · ta accept the findings of the
card of
p-
praisal Commiss ioners heretofo re appointe d by said Court in the
above matter , wherein said Boara. reported , under 1 ts ro . 70-I of
its findings as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that
the 51 acres therein re£erred to is listed as the property of
Annie L. 3au.gher and is a lap on the land of the Harnsbe rger heirs
and that said property was only valued at
8. 00 per acre.
The grounds of said motion are as follows :
(1)
That the Apprais al Board erred in reportin g said bl acres
of land as the property of Annie L. Baugher covered by a lap on
the lands of the heirs of the late Charles ·r. Hdrnsbe rger. The
said 51
ores is a part of a 264 acre tract of land which has
belonged to the estate of the s&id Charles J . Harnsbe rger, to him
and his predece ssors in title for the last fifty years or more,
and over said land the said Charles
.'l.
Harnsbe rger and his heirs
have exercise d absolute control and dominion .

{ 2)
That the .rl.pprais al Board erred in not making any allow-
ance for the mangane se ore known to exist upon said land.
This
�- - 2--
tract of 264, acres is a por,tion of the land lying south of Elkton,
which has been developed as manganese ore-bearing land .
There
is no question about this tra ct of 51 a cres being rich in such
ore .
(3)
That the price of
Js. oo
per acre allowed for sai d lands i
inadequate and confiscatory , said lands being worth
many times this sum on account of the manganese known to exist
therein.
(4)
That the findings of said Board were based upon a mis-
talrn of law as to the na ture and effect of the evidence produced
before said Board by moveants .
Th e affidavits attached hereto are asked to be rea d in
support of the above exception.
Th e claim heretofore filed by
the moveants is asked to be read in connection with this motion.

The State Commission
on Conser vation and Development
of the Sta te of Virginia
vs.
Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others
and 52,501 acres of land
in Rockingham county.
To the Hon.H. W.Be.rtram, Judge of said Court.
The motion of J.O.Harnsberger, A.L.Harnsbe rge.r, Nannie
T.Harnsberger, Clinton T.Harnsberger, Kate w.snapp, J.C.Bishop,
A.C.Davis, and A.Florence Forrer, who file this motion upon behalf of themselves and the other heirs at law and distributees
of Charles w.Ha rnsberge.r , deceased, praying sa id Court to disapprove and to decline to accept the findings of the Board of Appraisal Commissioners heretofore appointed by said Court in the
above ma tter, wherein said Board reported, under its No. 70-I of
its findings as filed in the Clerk's Office of sa id Court, that
the 51 a cres therein referred to is listed a s the prope rty of
.Annie L. Baugher a nd is a lap on the land of the Harnsberge.r heirs,
and that s a id property was only valued at $8.00 per acre.
The grounds of said motion are as follows:
(1)
That the Appraisal Board erred in reporting s a id 51 acres
of land as the property of .Annie L.Baugher covered by a l a p on
the lands of the hei.rs of the late Charles ·11.Harnsbe.rger.
The
said 51 acres is a part of a 264 acre tract of land which has
belonged to the estate of the said Charles ".'!.Harnsberger, to him,
and his predecessors in title for the last fift y years or more,
and over said land the said Charles ~.Ha rnsberger and his heirs
have exercised absolut e control and dominion.

(2)
That the Appraisal Board erred in not making a:ny allow-
ance for the manganese ore known to exist upon said land.
This
1YC
�--2-tract of 264 acres is a portion of the land lying south of Elkton,
which has been developed as manganese ore-bearing land. There
is no question about this tract of 51 acres being rich in such
ore.
(3)
That the prioe of $8.00 per acre allowed for said lands is
totally inadequate and oonfiscatory, said lands being worth
many times this sum on account of the manganese known to exist
therein.
(4)
That the findings of said Board were based upon a mistake
of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence produced before said Board by moveants.
The affidavits attached hereto are asked to be read in
support of the above exception. The claim heretofore filed by
the movean.ts is asked to be read in connection with this motion.

J . O.Harnsberger this day personally appeared before me,
, a Notary Public in and for the
-------------County aforesaid, in the State of Virginia, in my County aforesaid , and, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I am one of the heirs at law of the late Charles w. Harnsberger, and am well acquainted with the 264 acres of land situate
just south of Elkton, of which 51 acres lying at the eastern end
of the 264 acre tract has been reported by the Board of Appraisal
Commissioners in the above entitled matter as belonging to Annie
L. Baugher and as a lap on the lands of the heirs at law of
Charles '.'l.Harnsberger . The entire 2,64 acre tract of land has been
recognized as the land of the estate of Charles w. Harnsberger for
the past forty years or more, and the said estate has bad control
of, and has paid the taxes on, said land during all of this perio.
This entire tract of land lies within the manganese ore-bearing
belt on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the
western portion of said tract has been developed by aotual mining

aommercial quantities.
In view of these facts , the value of iB .O
�--2--per acre placed on said 51 acre tract by the Board of appraisal
Commiss ioners is absolutely inadequate and confiscatory.

is
believed that the Appraisal Board erred in reporting this land
as the property of Annie L. Baugher , and also erred in not making
a substantial allowance for the manganese ore known to exist
therein.

Q~er
tf
In re exceptions of J.O.Harnsberger and others.
To the Hon.Philip \lillia.ms , Chairman of the Park
Land .Arbitration Board.
In reply to the rules issued by said .Arbitration Board on
~ugust 16, 1933, and in reply to your call therein made, the undersigned beg to say:
(a)
The number of the tract owned by exceptants, as shown on
the map filed in this proceeding, is 70-r.
(b)
The acreage claimed is 51.
(c)
As the claim now under consideration is based primarily
~pon the mineral rights therein asserted, the requirements in this
section do not in their entirety apply.
Suffice it to say here:
(1)
The appraisal Board did not make proper allowance
~or the land of exceptants, exclusive of the mineral rights, the
~aid property being worth at least ~15.00 per acre imtead of the
eight allowed by the
ppraisal Board.
·mile it is true that this
t~act is listed as an overlap of Annie L.Baugher on the Harnsberger
lands, and while the validity of suoh a lien is usually to be deLA W O FF ICES
GEO . S. HARNSB ERGER
termined in the proper court procedure and not before this Board,
ret as .Annie L.Baugher has not agreed to submit her claims to arbi-

tra tian, exoeptants ask that their ri ghts may be protected in this
proceeding.
The said 51 aores is a part of a 264 acre tra ct of
land which has belonged to the estate of Charles w.Rarnsberge r and
his prede cessors in title for more than fifty years.
(2)
That the Appraisal Board erred in not making any al-
lowance for manganese ores known to exist on said land.
This is
a part of the same manganese ore property that has been developed
near Elkton, and from which large tonnage has been removed.
There
can be no question about this land being ore-bearing in commercial
quantities, and, as said lands have been developed, it is believed
that a very conservative and fair royalty to be asked would be
$10,000.00.

Description
An account of the resource
The first series of <span>the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. </span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.<br /><br />For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.<br /><br />I<span>n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

�On Friday , Sept . 18th, 1931 , a c companied by Hr . Gideon Baugher ,
I proceeded to survey the lands of Hrs . Elsie Baugher , lying in
Swift Run Gap, in Rockingham County, near Fern Post Office, Greene Co,
I was assisted by two experienced chain carriers, Messrs .
Va .
Ed. :-Ianey and Fountain Frazier, and m&de a careful survey by horizontal
measurements from the true
l
.eridian, v1h1ch is shovm by the accor.1p&nying
map , •rhicn is made a part of this report .
A careful calcul1.:i.tion of the surveyed tract showed it to contain
65 acres .
11.'his, however, is subject to a deduc"':ion of the land occu-
pied by the State Highvrny (Spottswood Trail } which runs thru
f rom .. to B, a disti-nce of 7 chains, ,ntt1 a

This deducted from entire survey of 65 acres, leaves ( 65 - . 53

Baugher 1 s land entirely from the Jncomplete descriptions contained in his deeds, Mr. F. T. Amiss was
sent into the field to make a survey.
Mr. Amiss ran
a base line from the Park boundary up Hawksbill Creek,
entirely across the tract.
From this base line he tied
in many corners of the tract, and these ties, together with descriptions of adjoining tracts, enabled us
to make a complete plat of the Geo.
w.
Baugher hold-
ings.
From this plat I compute the area to be 980 Acres,
and this is covered by
the Stat§;i:/J;f~

Description
An account of the resource
The first series of <span>the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. </span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.<br /><br />For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.<br /><br />I<span>n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.
