This series contains bound volumes of annual convention minutes (1910–1953; 1954–1961), executive committee minutes (1993–2003), photograph albums, and scrapbooks recording association gatherings such as conventions, banquets, and training events. Full-size newspapers and clippings from 1960, 2005, and 2015 provide contemporary coverage of clerks’ legislative initiatives, organizational milestones, and the public profile of the VCCA. The materials highlight the association’s role in fostering professional development, building collegial networks, and shaping policy within Virginia’s judicial system. Originally collected and maintained by the VCCA Historian, these oversized records were digitized as part of James Madison University’s Histories along the Blue Ridge (HBR) project to ensure long-term preservation and researcher access.

In reply to your letter of August 16, 1933 , accompanying the rules that day issued, beg to say: That exceptant owns 198 acres lying in the Counties o~ Rockingham and ilbemarle, as follows: In Rockingham County , Tract No . 335 , 73 acres . In .Albemarle County , Tract No. 197 , 125 acres . In this connection , exceptant further says that exceptant, along with Allen B. Patterson, owns 399 acres of land, of which 394 acres is situate in Albemarle County, and 5 a cres in Rockingham County. See Tract No. 198 on the map for Albemarle. For the reasons gi ven in connection with a like statement in regard to the H. R., D.H., and H. G.Patterson lands, it is believed that it would be advantageous to have the exceptions in regard to all of these tr acts of land heard in Augusta County , as t same witnesses will be oalled in each case, and as the same Arbitration Board will sit in all oases , and further as all of the land owners and witnesses reside west of the Blue Ridge Mountains .

The 73 acres of land above referred to will graze 20 cattle for seven months during each and every year ; and these 20 cattle will put on an average of at least 200 pounds , each , during that period . The aggrega te number of pounds thus put on would be 4 , 000 per season.

The difference between the above valuation and that set forth in the proof of claim heretofor e filed in this matter is due to the difference in acreage specifi ed in the claim and that found by the Board of ram ppraisal Commissio ners . the owner of several f arms in Rockingham County, and in 1930 purcha sed a grazing farm in Highland County , which I bou.ght under very favorable condition s , but for which I had to pay pproximat ely ~so. oo an aore. The Highland County farm will not graze any more cattle or. put on any more pounds per acre than the property in question. Due to the fact that these proceeding s contempla te the taking of all grazing lands on the Blue Ridge Mountains , it will not be possible for me to acquire further grazing lands in the vicinity of the above described property. The land in question oannot be re:plaoed anywhere in this section of Virginia for less than $80. 00 per acre . The aforesaid land , being condemned i n this cause , is indispens able to the profitable operation of my other farms . The same is not for sale , and I hereby ask that these lands be omitted from the contempla ted Park area .

Patterson, situate upon the Blue Ridge Mountains, in Rockingham County , Virginia, and reported by the Boar d of Apprais al Commissioners in the above entitled matter under their finding No.335. The 73 acres of land above referred to will graze 20 cattle for seven months during ea ch and every year, and these 20 cattle will put on an aver age of at least 200 pounds, each, duri that period. The aggregate number of pounds thus put on would be 4,000 per season. A conservative average price would be seven cents per pound, which would make the income from the grazing eac . year worth $280.00. This amount is equivalent to the income at six per cent. on $4,666. 00. LAW OFFICIS GEO.S. HARNSBERGER HARRISONBURG , VA . thus be approximately $62.00. The average worth per acre would The land a bove referred to has �.. - 2-- actually grazed the number of cattle above specified, and I know that the cattle will put on , year in and year out , at least the w~ight specified. The difference between the above valuation and that set forth in the proof of claim heretofore filed in this matter is due to the difference in acreage specified in the claim and that found by the Board of Appraisal Commissionerso I am the owner of a farm in Augusta County, and am ac quainted with the grazing farm in Highland County purchased by Herbert G. Patterson in 1930, at approximately $80.00 an acre . The Highland County farm will not graze any more cattle or put on any more pounds per acre than the property in question. In the event all of the grazing lands on the Blue Ridge Mountains are taken in the above condemnation proceeding, I do not know where the lands which we are now considering could be replaced .

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.

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.

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.

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.
