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.

Bailey and Clarance A. Bailey. This parcel of land, as appears by deeds of record, was conveyed by Villiam H. Bai!ey to George H. Bailey, Clarence A. Bailey, and Nettie K. Rosen by deed dated March 10, 1924, Deed Book 129 page 1. By a deed of trust bearing date on the ?th day of April, 1924, Deed Book 129 p:3.ge 3, said George H. Bailey and others conveyed same to Andrew L. Todd, Trustee, in trust to secure a loan from the New York Life Insurance Company of which f-35,000.00 was principal. Later, by proper motion, order was entered by the Circuit court of Rockingham County appointing Rudolph Bumgardner as Trustee in the room and stead of the said Andrew L. Todd, resigned, which is of record in said Clerk's Office in Deed Book 144 page 55. J<oY-£,.,d~t.'f' 1-1. w1- ~- By a deed of conveyance, d a t e d ~ . Deed Book 131 page 2t''1 said George H.

Default was made in the payment of the debt secured in �- 2 - said deed of trust and, on the 16th day of July, 1932, said Rudolph Bumgardne r, as Substitute d Trustee in said deed of trust securing the debt due the New York Life Insurance Company, after due advertisement and in accordanc e with the terms of said deed of trust, offered for sale at public auction the said property, including all rights accruing to the owners in said condemnat ion proceeding s as respects any pe.yments made for land acl"!uired, a.nd sub f ect to the deduction of any lands so acquired, at which sale the property and rights aforesaid were knocked down to petitione r, the Hew York Life Insurance Company, who duly complied with the terms of its purchase, and to whoM conveyance has been made by said Bumgardne r, Substitute d Trustee. On the map filed in said condemnat ion proceeding s the portion of the Bailey tract to be l ondernned is duly delineated as standing in the name of William H. Bailey. However, beine; shortly thereafte r acquired by Robert L. Bailey and Clarence A.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The grounds of said motion are as follows : (1) That the Apprais al Board erred in reportin g said bl acres of land as the property of Annie L.

The said 51 ores is a part of a 264 acre tract of land which has belonged to the estate of the s&id Charles J .

There is no question about this tra ct of 51 a cres being rich in such ore . (3) That the price of Js. oo per acre allowed for sai d lands i inadequate and confiscatory , said lands being worth many times this sum on account of the manganese known to exist therein. (4) That the findings of said Board were based upon a mis- talrn of law as to the na ture and effect of the evidence produced before said Board by moveants .

The grounds of said motion are as follows: (1) That the Appraisal Board erred in reporting s a id 51 acres of land as the property of .Annie L.Baugher covered by a l a p on the lands of the hei.rs of the late Charles ·11.Harnsbe.rger. The said 51 acres is a part of a 264 acre tract of land which has belonged to the estate of the said Charles ".'!.Harnsberger, to him, and his predecessors in title for the last fift y years or more, and over said land the said Charles ~.Ha rnsberger and his heirs have exercised absolut e control and dominion. LA'fY OFFICES GEO. S. HARNSBERGER HARRISONBURG . VA . (2) That the Appraisal Board erred in not making a:ny allow- ance for the manganese ore known to exist upon said land. This 1YC �--2-tract of 264 acres is a portion of the land lying south of Elkton, which has been developed as manganese ore-bearing land. There is no question about this tract of 51 acres being rich in such ore. (3) That the prioe of $8.00 per acre allowed for said lands is totally inadequate and oonfiscatory, said lands being worth many times this sum on account of the manganese known to exist therein. (4) That the findings of said Board were based upon a mistake of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence produced before said Board by moveants.

In reply to the rules issued by said .Arbitration Board on ~ugust 16, 1933, and in reply to your call therein made, the undersigned beg to say: (a) The number of the tract owned by exceptants, as shown on the map filed in this proceeding, is 70-r. (b) The acreage claimed is 51. (c) As the claim now under consideration is based primarily ~pon the mineral rights therein asserted, the requirements in this section do not in their entirety apply.

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.
