Title A name given to the resource Madison County SNP Records: Miscellaneous Documents Description An account of the resource The second series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 22 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 muniments of title for the condemned land, as found in Deed Book 53 in the clerk’s office of Madison county. Additional items in this collection include appraisal commission reports, addresses of landowners, depositions and proceedings from the law and order books.

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 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.

JUly 7 , 1934 Memo for The Clerks of the Circuit Courts of the Counties of Warren, Rappahannock , page , Rockingham, Augusta, Albemarle , Greene and Madison. We have been making a complete check of all orders entered in the Park Condemnation Proceedings directing the amendment of Table Two of the reports of the Boards of Appraisal commissioners as to the amount set out therein as the value of certain tracts . M:r . Marshall and the writer will bring our copy of your respective reports to you in the next two or three days for comparison with your report. May we suggest that if you reach Table Two of the report of the .AJ)praisal commissioner s in your deed book before we see you , you wait our arrival before actually entering it in your deed book so that we can together make a final check of these orders b.efore the actual copying of this table into the deed book. Some of the clerks have asked whether all of the reports and the five tables attached thereto are to be copied in the need Book. rt is our understandin g that the order directs the recording of the entire report and the five attached tables in full . To avoid some uncertainty which seems to have arisen as to what "plats" are to be withdrawn from the record of the proceedings and inserted in your deed book , we have prepared lists taken from the tables mentioned in the reoordation order .
