Title A name given to the resource Madison County SNP Records: Court Proceedings Description An account of the resource 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.

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 miscellaneous records including correspondence, petitions, orders, proceedings from the law and order book and affidavits. An additional file of interest to researchers includes the Panorama File, which includes detailed information on the history of the Panorama Resort.

Defendants . 149. At Law , Ho Your respondent , Prank H. Cox , excepts to the report of . L. Price , M. Lohr Capper M . Levi , and George H who were appointed special investigators and members of the hoard of appraisal com - missioners by an order heretofore entered in these proceedings, dated May 17, 1932, and filed in this cause on May 18, 1932 , insofar as the findings therein set forth affect or concern your re spondent's tract of land containing 102.6 acres , more or less , . 173 which is designated as tract I\To in the said report , and here states his grounds of exceptions as follows: . That 1st the said special investigators and members of the board of appraisal commissioners have reported the value of re spondent's said tract of land , or compensation therefor , as being only 4 2, 107.34 when respondent purchased the said property on the ^ 8th day of February 1927, in good faith and at that time actually paid therefor the sum of .#4,000.00 in cash, as will more fully appear from the claim of your respondent and the exhibits filed therewith which were filed in these proceedings on the 29 th day of may, 1930; . That 2nd the said valuation of the said property, or the * • compensation to be paid respondent therefor , as set out in the �tv . i said report is grossly unfair and inadequate and is not just com pensation for the said property; . That 3rd the said special investigators and members of the board of appraisal commission in fixing the said valuation of #2,107.34 were affected or influenced by partiality , by error and misapprehension of the facts, and by improper argument of counsel to the effect that it was necessary for them to fix the values low for otherwise the petitioner would not have sufficient money to acquire the same ; . That 4th the said special investigators and members of the board of appraisal commissioners , in making their said report and reaching their conclusions with reference to the value of re - spondent's said land, labored under a misapprehension of the prin- ciples of law applicable thereto , a misconception of their duties in the premises and a mistake of lav/ as to the nature and effect of the evidence with reference to which such findings were made ; . That 5th the said special investigators and members of tne board of appraisal commissioners made a mistake of fact in failing to place any value at all upon the valuable springs and water and water rights upon respondent 1 s said land ; . That there is an 6 th error and mistake of fact contained in the sa'id report in that the valuation placed upon the improvements on the said property is only #725.00, while in the work sheets of the said special investigators and members of the board of appraisal commissioners, which are attached to and made a part of the said report , the said improvements are valued at #1,005.00; . That 7th the said special investigators and members of the board of appraisal commissioners were appointed and acted in pur- suance of the provisions of Chapter 410 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1928 and in so doing this respondent has not been �given a day in Court and there has not been , and cannot be any " judicial determination of the value of respondent's said land and that to confirm the said report would he to take respondent's said property without just compensation in violation of Section 6 of Article 1 of the Constitution of Virginia and to deprive him of his property without due process of law in violation of Section 11 of Article 1 of the Constitution of Virginia; and . That 8th the said Chapter 410 of the Acts of the General - Assembly of 1928 and especially the provisions thereof with re ference to the powers and duties of the said special investigators and members of the board of appraisal commissioners and the effect - of their said report deprives this respondent of his property with out due process of law contrary to the fourteenth Amendment of the . Constitution of the United States Wherefore , your respondent prays that the Court decline to accept the report and disapprove the findings of fact therein set forth; that the said report be set aside and be declared null and vo-id with respect to the valuation placed upon your respondent's said property ; that the Court summon a jury to hear and determine your respondent's claim , and he will ever pray , etc. ’< e *U . d. 9 J State of Virginia, - County of Hanover , to wit , I, C ounty v, Hotary * T Pjiblip in and for the aforesaid ,.do certify that frerak H.

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.

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.

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.
