In 1778, Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, was formed from a portion of the western part of Augusta County, Virginia, and in 1779 and 1780 small portions of West Augusta were annexed to Monongalia County. This tenth book in a popular series transcribes Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, court records from 1815-1819.
The court records presented in this book involve land disputes; crimes such as theft or assault; inheritance disputes; appointment of officials such as surveyors or overseers of the poor; granting of business licenses; adoptions; payments of debts; incidents of drunkenness, harlotry or rape; business transactions; executions of writs; improvements to jails and roads; slander suits; and other matters of the courts. Papers from other courts appear at times, usually having to do with actions concerning area citizens.
