Hetick filed his Land Office Treasury Warrant for 25,517 acres and Overall's patent was contained within his lands. According to the county surveyor in a deposition, his home was burnt down and Overall's plat and survey were recorded in  book that burnt in the fire. \n"," In dispute in the cause are deeds made in 1823 and 1831  between Henry Long and Nancy Painter, his step daughter, Adam Painter, her son, Adam Painter. Henry Long was said to be old, infirm and a drinker but others surmise that he had fallen under the influence of his step daughter. Defendant lived in Shenandoah and Rockingham counties.

The court ruled that the enslaved people may be hired out or sold to pay for his estate's debts while the legacy of his niece, Mary J. Conn, is protected-thus increasing his debts.  All of this is not lost on those he enslaved as they were named defendants along with his niece to the suit. In their answer, they fight back stating that \"their liberty should be place on a higher footing than the legacy of his niece which is so far a special legacy.\" They ask the court to release them from their servitude. Instead, they were hired out and his estate earned $185.00 However, the estate remained $600.00 in debt.

The suit also involved the city of Richmond hiring out enslaved workers to the business of Benjamin Blackford and Son. SEE ALSO: 1843-005. \n","Isaac Bundy was a free man of color, who died childless and his estate was to be divided amongst his brothers and sisters.  His heirs argued Frances Bundy, Isaac Bundy's common-law wife, was not legally his wife and therefore had no right to a dower tract of land from Isaac's estate. However, the court recognized Frances as Isaac's wife for legal purposes. Frances, in turn, disputed whether the heirs coming forward were in fact legimitate heirs to Isaac's estate. \n","The suit is concered with church property in the town of Lurary; the property also contained a meeting house and schoolhouse. Thomas M. Almond was a member of Mount Caramel Baptist Church while  Ambrose Booton was a trustee of the Hawksbill Baptist Church.  The Hawksbill Baptist Church became the Mount Caramel Baptist Church-known as the Old School Baptists.

Before the end of 1854, the Forrers had sold half of property, real and personal, to Thomas S. Richard and James Moore of Pennsylvania. By August 1855, Richards and Moore had purchased the entire establishment. However, a contract was never signed by either party. A later contract between Forrer and Richards was lost or left behind in Baltimore. One of the defendants, James B. Eastham enslaved people who were hired to work the iron works.

Other less prevalent issues include freedom suits, permissions to sell property, and disputes concerning trespass. Predominant documents found in these chancery causes include bills (documents the plaintiff's complaint), answers (defendant's response to the plaintiff's complaint), decrees (court's decision), depositions, affidavits, correspondence, lists of heirs, deeds, plats, wills, records involving enslaved individuals, business records or vital statistics.\n","IsaaC Overall filed a Land Office Treasury Warrant for 4,790 acres prior to George Hetick.

The court ruled that the enslaved people may be hired out or sold to pay for his estate's debts while the legacy of his niece, Mary J. Conn, is protected-thus increasing his debts.  All of this is not lost on those he enslaved as they were named defendants along with his niece to the suit. In their answer, they fight back stating that \"their liberty should be place on a higher footing than the legacy of his niece which is so far a special legacy.\" They ask the court to release them from their servitude.

The judicial duty of the office was to hold inquisitions in cases when persons met a sudden, violent, unnatural or suspicious death, or death without medical attendance. The law did not encourage the Coroner to be a medical professional until the 20th century, and only stipulated that the local court be responsible for the appointment. Although not reliant on profession, this system of affluent white men making the decisions largely ensured that only other white men served in this position for much of its history.","Prior to the Civil War, the coroner would summon a jury of twelve white men, usually prominent citizens of that locality, to assist him in determining cause of death. The jury viewed the body of the deceased and heard the testimony of witnesses which did include both white and Black perspectives. This witness testimony was recorded and after seeing and hearing the evidence, and unlike other judicial proceedings, enslaved people could provide depositions in coroner's inquisitions, but still, an all-white jury delivered in writing to the coroner their conclusion concerning cause of death referred to as the inquisition. These causes of death would be determined by a white perspective and Black individuals were only consulted; they were never in a position to make decisions. After the Civil War, the process remained the same but the racial distinctions stipulating jury eligibility no longer remained. However, as appointments still continued and juror eligibility reserved for those \"entitled to vote and hold office,\" the authority and influence in the hands of white citizens remained throughout the late 19th and early 20th century.","In 1877, an act of the General Assembly changed the number of jurors to six, and by 1926, only the coroner determined cause of death but they could require physicians to assist them with determining cause of death. Then in 1946, the General Assembly abolished the Coroner's office/ office of Coroner's Physician altogether, appointed instead a Chief Medical Examiner, and by 1950 transitioned to a statewide Office of the Chief Medical Examiner which now lives within the Department of Health.","If a criminal act was determined to be the cause of death, the coroner delivered the guilty person to the sheriff and the inquests would be used as evidence in the criminal trial. In this case, coroner's inquisitions were filed with the trial papers. If there was not a trial, coroner's inquisitions were filed separately and are more likely to appear in this collection as a standalone set of documents.","Locality History:   Page County  was named according to most sources, for John Page, revolutionary patriot, congressman, and governor of Virginia from 1802 to 1805. It was formed from Rockingham and Shenandoah counties in 1831. \n","Page County Coroners Inquisitions were processed around 2012 by L. Travis and later indexed for the purpose of inclusion in Virginia Untold.

The judicial duty of the office was to hold inquisitions in cases when persons met a sudden, violent, unnatural or suspicious death, or death without medical attendance. The law did not encourage the Coroner to be a medical professional until the 20th century, and only stipulated that the local court be responsible for the appointment. Although not reliant on profession, this system of affluent white men making the decisions largely ensured that only other white men served in this position for much of its history.","Prior to the Civil War, the coroner would summon a jury of twelve white men, usually prominent citizens of that locality, to assist him in determining cause of death. The jury viewed the body of the deceased and heard the testimony of witnesses which did include both white and Black perspectives. This witness testimony was recorded and after seeing and hearing the evidence, and unlike other judicial proceedings, enslaved people could provide depositions in coroner's inquisitions, but still, an all-white jury delivered in writing to the coroner their conclusion concerning cause of death referred to as the inquisition. These causes of death would be determined by a white perspective and Black individuals were only consulted; they were never in a position to make decisions. After the Civil War, the process remained the same but the racial distinctions stipulating jury eligibility no longer remained.
