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.

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.</text>

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.</text>

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.</text>

�History of tract and condition of timber:
Practically all of tract cleared
many years ago , grazed since .
The best grass area extends along the top and part way down either
side of the ridge .
The rod -· is very thick and with very few weeds .
There are several small areas of rock outcroppings in this type . There
is also a small area of the first class grazing on the flat in the eastern
9art of the tract . On the slope , the sod is somewhat thinner and a
greater percentage of the area is covered with rocks and weeds and in
some places the bare mineral soil is exposed .
There are two good springs on this tract located near the eastern
bohndary .

TO THE HON. H.W.Bl!l~TRAM,JUDGE OF S ID COURT .
The motion of ~lijah C~tter, on, praying said Court to
disapprove and to decline to accept the finding of the Board of
ppraisal Commissioners heretofore appointed by said Court in the
above matter, wherein said 3oard reported, under No . 357 of its
findings, as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that the
60 acres of land found by the said Board to be the property of
the moveant, situate in Rockingham County, was valued at only
,- )45. 00 per acre .

The grounds of said motion are as follows:
(1)

That the ~~}.er acre allowed for said lands is ex-

tremely i ~ q ~ t ~ ~ p p e a r s from 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 moveant.
(3)

That the finding of the Board is, apparently, from the

statements contained in its report, b~ased 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 land, or to the fact that all such
grazing lands on the Blue Ridge Mountains are being taken under

S~V:}g~
-City~ Cl:J6rlotte ... uilre, to-wit:

~jah Catterton this day personally appeared before me,

~-2c :,~

,

a Notary Public in and for the City and

State aforesaid, in my City aforesaid, and, being duly sworn,
deposes and says:
I am the owner of 140 acres of grazing land situate upon

the crest of the 3lue Ridge Mountains, north of Simmons Gap, 60
acres of which land lies in Rockingham County,and

~

acres in

Greene County, which lands together constitute one grazing farm,
and are used, together, as such.

This grazing farm is generally

recognized as the best grazing farm for its size in that section
of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The 140 acres of land above referred to will graze 60 head
of cattle for six months during each and e v e ' ( y ~ ~ 60
cattle will put on an average of at least 2D0 pounds, each, during that period.

The aggregate number of pounds thus :put on would

be 15,000 pounds per season.

very conservative average price

,ould be five cents per pound, which would make the income from t e
LAW OFFICES

grazing each year ~750.00.

This amount is equivalent to the in-

GEO. S. HARNSBERGER
HARRISONBURG, VA.

come at .six per cent. on ~12 , 500. 00.

The average v1orth per acre

�.... 2 --

would thus be

approximately $89 . 00, as against the average price

of $45.00 allowed by the Board .

The land above referred to has

actually grazed the number of cattle aboye specified , and I know
that the cattle ~ill put on, year in and year out, at least the
weight specified, and they have put on more .

Those portions of th

above tract of 140 acres situate in Rockingham and Greene are of
approximately the same value, as the character and value of the
land , so far as grazing is concerned, are about the same in bot~
Counties .

I have been offered ~10 , 000 . 00 for said farm , and re-

fused to take it , because I am satisfied that it is worth more
than that .
I am the owner of two farms; namely , one of 250 acres,
situated in Greene County , and one of 187 acres , situated partly
in Albemarle and partly in Greene.

The grazing lands above re-

ferred to, or some other grazing lands equally as good , are abso lutely indispensable to me in the operation of my farms , because
it is absolutely necessary in the proper operation of said farms
to supply extra grazing lands where the cattle can be kept during
the summer, in order that I may have cattle to consume the
roughness on the farms during the winter .

How , due to the fact

that these condemnation proceedings contemplate the taking of all
grazing lands of any value on the Blue Ridge rountains, it will
not be possible for me to acquire further grazing lands in the
vicinity of the above described mountain property nor accessible
to my home farms .

The grazing lands in question cannot be re-

placed anywhere in this section of Virginia for the sum hereinabove stated, that is , J 89 . 00 per acre •
•s the aforesaid land , being condemned in this cause ,
is indispensable to the profitable operation of my other farms,
the same is not for sale, and I hereby ask that this land be

ooitted from the contemplated Park area , and that in the establis ment of said ~rk proDer provision be made for the exclusion

�--8--

of these lands , and that there be provided a right of way thereto
over such adjacent lands as the said Commission may see fit to
condemn.
11 of the foregoing information was given to the Board
of Appraisal Commissioners, but, if I am to judge by their finding , it was not considered .

;;ze /t::;F

this day personally appeared bea Notary Public in and for the

County aforesaid, in the State of Virginia, in my County aforesaia,
and, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I am well acquainted with the grazing farm of Elijah Catterton, situate upon the Blue Ridge Mountains in Rockingham and
I

Greene Counties, and have often been upon the same. I have seen
the cattle grazing upon the landE, and have seen them after they
have been taken therefrom in the fall of the year.

From the

knowledge and experience that I have had in connection with graz-

I

ing and the handling of cattle, I am certain that said razi~
d~~~
farm will graze at least 60 head of cattle ea.8h and every year~/\
and that these cattle will each take on an average of 250 pounde,
or more, per year.

The land is well watered, well grassed, and

well fenced, and is generally recognized as the best grazing farm
I

of its size in that section of the Blue Ridge Mountains .

Due to

I

the fact that these proceedings contemplate the taking of all gra:,ing lands on the Blue Ridge Mountains , I do not know where these

I

lands could be replaced at the price of $89. 00 per acre now being
asked by ]fr. Catterton for said lands , or even for a greater sum.

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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison 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 Madison 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.</text>

                  <text>The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison 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 Madison 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.</text>

Bio/Historical Note

Chancery Records are records pertaining to chancery causes. 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.

                  <text>The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison 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 Madison 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.</text>

                  <text>The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison 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 Madison 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.</text>
