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.

English law was supplemented or amended in the general assembly, but the basic laws, including all serious criminal offenses, were English law. Death was the penalty for many serious crimes in the colony, as in the mother country. The Act of 1796 was a bill that abolished the death penalty for all crimes committed by free persons except murder in the first degree. The bill directed the governor to purchase land within the state for the purpose of building a penitentiary, inaugurating imprisonment as the punishment for all other crimes. The bill also established minimum and maximum sentences for each crime, according to the gravity of the offense. The power to set the sentence was also given to the jury, rather than being a judicial decision. These laws focused predominantly on white men and women; the enslaved population was still disproportionately punished with physical violence or death. In the years after 1796, very little changed about the criminal code. The length of sentences might vary according to the times. Seduction, previously a civil case, became criminalized in 1849 and remained so until 1977. Further, several crimes (arson, rape, attempted rape, burglary, attempted robbery, and kidnapping) have since become capital offenses, authorizing the death penalty as a possible sentence. In most cases, however, the punishment remains imprisonment, as it has since 1796. Scope and Content The collection contains the Criminal Court Records from Rockingham County. The records included are criminal case records, warrants, appeals, summons, register of convicts, prison records, recognizance, bail bonds, jury records, pardons, and complaints. The criminal case records are cases that were tried in front of a jury. Warrants are separated into two subseries, search warrants and arrest warrants. The appeals series contains the records of appeals by people regarding their original conviction. The records contained within the summons series are witness summons, jury summons, and defendant summons. The original summons records may also contain the judge’s verdict for a case, if the criminal case did not go to a jury trial. Arrangement Index Terms The records are grouped into series by type of court record. Within each series the folders are organized chronologically, then alphabetically by surname.

(https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/) Bio/Historical According to Kelly M Pyrek in an article title, "An Introduction to the US MedicoNote Legal Death Investigation System," a coroner is a public official, appointed or elected, in a particular geographic jurisdiction, whose official duty is to make inquiry into death in certain catagories. (Pyrek, https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-012370861-8/50008-5) While the office of the coroner has been around for centuries, coroner's offical duties have changed throught their history. In contemporary times, the coroner typically inquires into a death and then completes a certificate of death. Coroners are different from medical examiners and jurisdication often determines which of the two are required to inquire into the death of an individual. A medical examiner is a registered physician who is expected to bring medical expertise into the examination. A coroner is not required to be trained in medicine. In the following records you will find both Medical Examiner's Reports and Coroner's Inquests, which fall under the category of post-mortem investigations. Additionally, there are some records related to "Lunacy cases." The term "lunancy" is, of course, an antiquated term generally refering to those considered epelectic or mentally ill. While the term luncacy has been used since the early modern period, the "Lunatic Asylum" to which many of the records allude to, was a creation of the 19th century in America. This was due, in part, to the humanitarian reform movements of the century, as well as to to an opposing development; the increased restrictions through institutional power and criminalization. The majority of "Lunacy records" for Rockingham County are housed at the Library of Virginia, located in Richmond, VA as part of their Western State Hospital records. A link to the full finding aid is supplied here: https://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=lva/vi00937.xml;query=lunacy;brand=de fault#top. �Scope and Content The following collection is divided in into three series: Medical Registers, Post-Mortem Investigations, and Lunacy Records. The Medical Register is a bound volume containing a record of all physicians registered within the Rockingham County Court's jurisdication from 1968-1985. This book is labeled volume two, however, it seems volume one was not retained. Within the Post-Mortem series there are two subseries: Coroner's Inquest and Medical Examiner Investigations. Coroner's Inquests contain information regarding the appearance of the body upon investigation, made by an appointed coroner. These inquest also contain depositions made by individuals who came into contact with the deceased shortly before their death. These depositions typically relate where the deceased had been, any unusual behavoir they may have exhibited, their health, and their relationships with others. Medical Examiner's reports contain much less detail regarding the lives of the deceased leading up to their death. Here, informtation regarding the name, age, sex, cause/date/time of death, and a narrative summary of circumstances surrounding the death are relayed (typically no more than a paragraph). Lunacy Records are divided into two subseries: Costs Allowed and Depositions. If an individual was suspected of "lunacy" a court investigtion would be made. This included the examination of witnesses who answered questions related to the accused's name, age, occupation, martial status, children, education, indications of insantity, frequency of attacks, promintent symptons and several others. Costs Allowed are records detailing the costs of caring for any person deemed "insane" who were cared for by an individual of the community. Evidence had to be supplied of the attempt to commit the insane to the local asylum, then once proven, any costs associated with their upkeep were accessed by the court. Arrangement Within each series and their subseries, the records are arranged chronologically.

(https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/) �Bio/Historical Note The United States Department of War was the department originally responsible for the operation and mantainance of the Unisted States Army until the United States Department of Defense was established in 1949. Its responsibilities included recruiting, training, procurment of supplies, ensuring medicare care, transportation, and payment. From some of the records housed in this collection, it would seem that the Department also had a hand in determining and verfying requests made by soldiers for military pensions. Military Pensions were initially established during the American Revolution, however this "military pension plan" went under several revisions before coming down to us in its exisiting form. The Civil War particularly prompted significant change to the military retirement system which placed limitations on the size of retirement lists. This caused issue, as many of the officers who should have been retired and receiving a pension due to physical or mental infirmities were maintained on the "active" list, inhibiting them from receiving their payment. However, in 1890 the situation was resolved with legislation that mandated all officers failing to qualify physically were to be placed on an "unlimited" retired list. The following pension documents record some of Rockingham County's earliest military officials to receive pension and trace the ever evolving policy of military pensions. This collection also housed records pertaining to WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam War. Most of these are induction and/or discharge records �Scope and Content The Military and Pension Records collection is broken into nine series. They are as follows; Muster Rolls, Confederate Pension Board Records, Pension Records, Destitute Veteran Records, Militia Appointments, Militia Fines and Costs, Miscellaneous, World War Memorial Record, and WWII and Vietnam Induction and Discharge Records. The first series, Muster Rolls, is broken into two subseries, the Muster Roll for 1861-1865 and one for 1887-1919. Muster rolls generally contain names of officers and enlisted men, name of station, rank, date of enlistment or reenlistment, date of desertion and apprehension, and sentence of court-martial, including the offense upon which found guilty. The Confederate Pension Board Records consititutes the second series within this record group. They have been divided into two subseries; General records and Meeting Minutes. The meeting minutes are recorded for years 1900-1930 and discuss lists of persons included on the Pension List, claims against the pension board, and new applications for pensions, among other things. Pension Records have been broken into three subseries; Applications for Pensions, Pension Lists, and Pension Laws.

The Massachusetts Note Adoption of Children Act was not only the first adoption law, but also the first law to protect the interest of the adoptive child. This law marked a fundamental shift in society, as during the mid 19th century novel notions of childhood developed and emphasis on reform of the individual increased. Benevolent Organization's focused on establishing orphanages, were they could work to reform the individual prior to their arrival in a new home. The Civil War brought a halt to most adoptions, which led to the overcrowding of many of these orphanages. The precursor to modern foster care developed out of the need to move children from these overcrowded orphanages. As the century progress, several states instituted legislation on adoption, and further regulated the process. By the 1990s, adoption became a highly regulated system with a degree of openness. Naturalization is defined as, "the admittance of a foreigner to the citizenship of a country." According to the National Archives, prior to September 27, 1906 any court of record could grant United States citizenship. However, after this date the responsibility for naturalization proceedings was transferred to the federal courts. Throughout the early to mid 20th century naturalization was a two-step process. After residing in the US for two years, an individual could file a declaration of intention to become a citizen. After three years, the individual could petition for naturalization. Throughout the twentieth century immigration became a contentious topic. In 1924 the Johnson-Reed Act, or Immigration Act, was enacted. Nationalism and xenophobia fueled concerns of foreignborn peoples taking up residence in the U.S. This reduced the number of individuals allowed into the nation, and as a result, the immigration influx into the area dwindled. Immigration quotas were eventually repealed during the 1960s, yet, even today immigration remains a hotly debated topic. Historically, couples interested in marrying were required to fulfill several prerequisites before the State allowed them to enter into matrimony. Each party had to be of a certain age, must prove their identity, and provide evidence for the potential to provide for their family. It has been argued that such measures were attempts made by the State for political and social regulation and power. In determining eligibility for marriage, the State could effectively police unwanted unions and enforce adherence to their definition of "acceptable" unions. The process for marrying could be quite arduous, requiring the individual to obtain petitions to obtain marriage licenses, certifications of their age/date of birth, and written consent from their families. �Scope and Content The following collection is broken down into five series: Adoption Records 1892-1950; Citizenship Records; Register of Births 1862-1894; Marriage Records; Register of Death 1870-1894. The Adoption Records contain completed adoption case files from 18921950. Within each file, one can find the birth name of the adopted child, information on who the birth mother and/or father was, as well as information on the adoptive parents. Files also contain character witness statements and social worker reports, all related to determining the suitability of the potential adoptive parents. Due to the code of VA section 63.2-1245, these records are not eligible for use or view by the general public and are only to be made available to attorneys of record, social service officials, court officials, and to such other persons as the circuit court shall direct in specific cases by order of the circuit court entered in accordance with § 63.2-1246. The second series, Citizenship Records, is further divided into two subseries; Petitions for Naturalization and Declarations of intent, based on the provenance of these records. Typically, an individual wishing to gain citizenship during the 20th century would first fill out a Petition for Naturalization, then the Declaration of Intent. Petitions typically listed the full name of the petitioner, their present address of residence, occupation, date of birth, the date on which they emigrated, the country from which they emigrated, where they arrived and on what vessel, a list of any children they had and finally, from what government they wished to renounce citizenship. Within this volume there are but two completed petitions, both of which are dated 1909. Declarations of Intent list similar information, however, they do provide detailed descriptions of physical characteristics of said person, including; skin color, complexion, height, weight, hair color, eye color, and any visible marks. In the entire volume, there is but one form completed, which is dated 1909. There are eight books containing Birth records housed by the circuit court. The first is a general index to all births recorded for the county of Rockingham from 1862-1894. This book provided the name of the child, date of birth, and what book and page their birth �had originally been recorded in. The courthouse retains both an original and typed edition of birth records for 1862-1870. The typed edition was likely produced some time in the late 1890s or early 1900s. In both books, one can expect to find the name of the child born, the date, their race, sex, place of birth, father's name, father's occupation, father's residence, mother's name, the number of children at birth, any deformities, and the name of the person providing birth information. The next two books are the original handwritten records recorded by the Commissioner of Revenue for each district for the years 1870-1894. The same information can be found in here as in the 1862-1870 volume. The two final books are typed editions of all birth records from 1870-1894. Marriage Records are divided into four subseries; Petitions to Obtain Marriage License 1875-1905, Certifications of Age 1872-1899, Consent to Grant Marriage License 18531901, and miscellaneous Marriage Records. Note that the Circuit Court also houses a copy of all marriage applications/licenses for the county of Rockingham from 17781912. These are available for viewing on our in-house records system, accessible to the public Mon-Friday 8:30 am-5pm. There are two Registers of Death, both dated 1870-1894. The first is the original handwritten documentation filled out each year by the district Commissioner of Revenue. Here, one can find the full name of the deceased, their race, sex, date of death, place of death, cause of death, age, name of parents, where they were born, occupation, name of spouse, and name of the person providing death information. The forms are arranged chronologically and by district. The second book, which also dates from 18701894, is simply a copy of the original, likely produced some time in the late 1890s or early 1900s. These are typed rather than handwritten. Arrangement All series and subseries are arranged chronologically. Subject Adoption--1890-1900--1910-1930--1930-1940, Citizenship, Naturalization--1910-1940, 20th-century America, Marriage--1760-1820--1830-1880--1890-1900, Vital statistics.

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.

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 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.
