Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County SNP Records: Court Proceedings Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Rockingham County Circuit Courthouse 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.&nbsp;</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.

Hensley and of Layton w.Hensley, the latter objecting on behalf of himself and the other heirs at law of ~t$£«M, ~ V, Hensley, praying said Court to dis- approve and to decline to accept the finding of the Board of Appraisal Commissioners, heretofore appointed by said Court in th above matter, wherein said Board reported, under No. 56 of its findings, as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that the movants are only entitled to 89 acres of land when they sh~uld have found that the movants are entitled to at least 100 acres of land, and wherein the said Appraisal Board valued said land at only, $12 .42 per acre wh~ it should have been valued at $25.00 per acre. The grounds of said motion are as follows: (1) That the price per acre allowed for said lands is mani- festly inadequate and confiscatory, because said lands are worth at least $25 .00 per acre, as is shown by the affidavits attached hereto. (2) That the finding of said Board was based upon a mistake of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence produced before said Board by the above named :parties. (3) That the finding of said Board is, apparently, from the statements contained in its report, based upon the physical character of the land alone, without taking into consideration, or LAW OFFICES GEO. S. HARNSBERGER HARRISONBURG. VA. at least without giving any effect in its final decision to, the �--2--.. income-producing capacity of the land or to the fact that all such grazing lands on the Blue Ridge Mountains are being taken under these condemnation proceedings, and that like grazing lands cannot be purchased for any such amount as allowed to the said movants, all of which will more readily appear from the affidavits attached hereto. (4) That the said Appraisal Board did not take into consid- eration, in making its allowance for compensation for the taking of said lands, the value of the minerals, especially the gold, found to be upon said lands from an assay made by the Treasury Department of a sample of the earth sent them, the report of the assay being presented to the .AI>praisal Board at their hearing, which report is now with the papers in this cause. Said report and the affidavits attached hereto are asked to be read in support of the above exceptions. These grazing lands are needed by movants in connection with their farming operations, and the state Commission on Conservation and Development is the Park area. L~W OFFICES GEO. S.

State of Virginia, City of Harrisonburg, to-wit: This day John A. Hensley personally appeared before me, F.Flavia Converse, a Notary Public in and for the City aforesaid, in the state of Virginia, in my City aforesaid, and, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I am the owner, along with Layton heirs at law of ~'-rx-~ ,. 9 /. w. Hensley and the othe:i: Hensley, of a tract of land situate about five miles east of Elkton, on the western side of the Blue Ridge :Mountains, in the contemplated Park area, which thE A_Ppraisal Board has reported as only 89 acres of land, while, as a matter of fact, there is at least 100 acres, and probably more, within the area. The said Appraisal Board only allowed t he sum of $12.42 per acre as the average price for said 89 acres, while, as a matter of fact, said land is worth at least $2 5.00 per acre. This tract of land will graze at least 40 head of cattle for six months each and every year, which, at $1.00 per head per month, would make a total income of ~240.00 per year, or the interest on $4,000.00. LAW OFFICES GEO. S. HARNSBERGER . HARRISONBURG . VA. ~-- -.. Affiant is only asking the sum of $2,500.00, because that is the price that he has been offered on several occasions for the property, and what he believes he could get to-day. ~ -- -_. - ·- ~~--------- - - -- �J. i I I I affiant is the owner of a farm situate in Rockingham County, Virginia, and must have for use in connection therewith grazing lands where stock can be kept during the summer so that he will have stock to consume the roughness on his farm during the winter. If this grazing land is taken under this condemnatioI proceeding, and all like grazi~"fan~Afs't .(a~~Ao.;;'"·~~~tem- I 1 ., : I I I \ plated in these proceedings, then it will be impossible for your affiant to replace said grazing land at the price allowed by the Appraisal Board, or even at the price affiant is now asking. I Several years ago, your affiant, together with certain other i:arties, sent to the assaying office of the Treasury De- ' partment a sample of certain minerals taken from the lands which are now being considered, and th1assay1ng office sent a report showing that the sample sent them contained gold. This report waE submitted, along with the other evidence, to the Appraisal Board, but the Board has not allowed any compensation therefor. It was explained to the Board at the time of the presentation of' the evidence before them that this sample was taken largely from the surface of the land, without making any special effort at prospecting, and your affiant has reason to believe that gold exists on said land in a quantity that would justify commercial development. Your affiant asks that this land be exoluded from the Parl area in order that the same may be retained by him. ~a, subscribed and swor~ to :J. q 7':t., before me this 02th day of September, (i:~~ 1932.

Hensley and others, situate about five miles I east of Elkton, on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the Park area. I have been upon the land a number of times, and have seen the cattle thereon and the condition of the same when they were taken therefrom. I am of the opinion that at least 40 head of cattle can be advantageously grazed upon said lard during six months of each and every year of average rainfall. Pasture on the average is a t least worth $1.00 :per head, vb.ioh would make an income of ~240.00 per year to be received from said land, to say nothing of the locust posts that can be obtained therefrom, either for use on the other lands of the owners or for sale. by LAW OFFICES I consider the average price of $12.42 per acre al1owed the A]?praisal Board to be absolutely an inadequa te price for GEO.S.

That if all of the grazing lands upon the Blue Ridge Mountains are taken, as is contemplated by these condemnation proceedings, I do not believe that such grazing lands can be replaced for ~25.00 per acre, and certainly not for the sum allowed by said Appraisal Board. I would consider the price of $12.42 per acre for said land as entirely too cheap for the same, and not in any sense the fair market value of said land under any normal condition.

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.
