Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.

Bio/Historical Note On February 21, 1818, the Virginia lesislature passed a school bill which appropriated $45,000 annually from the Literary Fund for the education of poor children. The Literary Fund had been established in 1810 which passage of a bill to appropriate "certain escheats, confiscated, and forfeited lands" for the "encouragement of learning." Under the provisions of the 1818 School Act, each county court was required to appoint five to fifteen commissioners to establish and/or administer schools for children of the poor. A more comprehensive public school system was established by legislature in 1870. Prior to 1818, county schools were given the option of whether to apoint a Board of School Commissioners. �Scope and Content Rockingham County (Va.) Board of School Commissioners Records, 1835-1840, contain treasurer's accounts, school reports, school bonds, and abstracts of school masters documenting the disbursement of the county's allotment, from the state's Literary Fund, for the education of indigent children. The Treasurer's accounts, 1835-1840, record the amount of money drawn from the State Literary Fund, money paid to each schoolmaster, the number of children taught, number of days taught, price of school for each day and student, and money spent on books and slates. The School Reports record the schools operating in the thirteen districts in Rockingham County. The reports also indicate the estimated number of poor children who qualified to attend the schools, number of students who attend school, the names of the schoolmasters and schoolmistresses teaching in the schools, salaries paid to the teachers, and the books used. School Bonds list the amount of money the treasurer of the School Commissioners of Rockingham County owe to the President and Director of the Literary Fund. Arrangement Documents are arranged into four series; school reports 1835-1838, school treasurers accounts 1835-1839, Abstracts of School Masters 1835-1840, and School Bonds 18341836. Sometime during the 1970s the records were taken to the Library of Virginia for adequate archival preservation. These documents were recently transfered back to the circuit court and upon their arrival had no apparent arrangement. The archivist arranged them according to the principle ofrespect des fonds and provenance, meaning the records were identified as organic collections acculated by the Rockingham County Board of School Commissioners and should not be seperated. Additionally, the series reflect the administrative units that fell under the Board. Index Terms Subject Government aid to education--Virginia. Poor children--Virginia. Public Schools--Virginia.

Title A name given to the resource Rappahannock County SNP Records: Court Proceedings Description An account of the resource The first series in the Rappahannock County SNP Records collection consists of 350 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.

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.

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.  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.

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 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.  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.

In the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.
