Manuscript. Docket book of cases possibly heard in Steuben County, New York, 1829-1830 and some loose documents.

Administrative Information

Immediate Source of Acquisition

This book was purchased for $300 at Kane Antiquarian Auction.

This docket book kept from 1828 to 1830 records cases heard in an unknown, but possibly Steuben County, court. Entries include names of plaintiffs and defendants; dates of actions; final dispositions; and fees, damages and court costs. Most of the cases were decided for the plaintiffs. There were a few trials held at Harpending's Inn, and a few were appealed. The towns named in the cases were located in Steuben County during the early nineteenth century; they are now in Schuyler County. The book belonged to the Cook family who kept farm accounts in the back during the 1830's.
