IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA. --..· STATE COMMISSION ON CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA v. WESLEY A. DEAN and 75 acres of land and improvements in Rockingham County. Filed .in the Ct ,rk' Office Rocktngham County, Va. SEP.Jc 1932 ~.:e1errc On motion of Wesley A. Dean, praying said Court to disapprove and to decline to accept the finding of the Board of Anpraisal Commissioners heretofore appointed by said Court in the above matter, wherein said Board reported under No . 50 of their findings as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that the 76 acres of land with the improvements thereon, found by said · Board to be the property of the moveant was valued at $920.00 . The grounds of said motion are as follows: 1. That the price for said land and improvements is manifestly inadequate as more fully appears from the affidavits attached hereto, which are asked to be read in support of these exceptions. 2. That the finding of said Board was based upon a mis- take of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence nroduced before said Board by the above named party. 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 at least without giving any effect in its final decision to the income producing capacity of the property, all of which will more readily appear from the affidavits attached hereto, which are asked to be · read in support of these exceptions. �VIRG-n.r LJ Tiill CIRCUIT COURT OF ROO aNGHJiJ I COul::'I'Y.

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.

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.
