The introduction to this volume spotlights a selection of the more interesting, revealing or unfortunate incidents found among the court orders issued during those years. These pages comprise a fascinating collection of accounts of assault, fornication and adultery, theft, property disputes and wills, disorderly conduct, drunkenness-truly a representative sampling of legal transgressions in a Colonial community. Much can be learned about our Virginia ancestors' values as a society by examining their management of a wide array of public concerns, such as orphans, the elderly and infirm, inter-racial couplings, crime, businesses, religious observance, mills, roads, taxes, public and private property and more. This chronological collection of court orders is attractively presented and includes a full-name plus subject index. \"In wills and deeds the genealogist can learn about his ancestors' relatives and possessions; in court orders he can learn about his ancestors.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572548026519,"sku":"9780788417573","price":2321.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780788417573.webp?v=1774890299","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/accomack-county-virginia-court-order-abstracts-volume-14-1719-1724-9780788417573","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
