Yates County, New York, docket book and unrelated legal manuscripts, 1793/1922

10 items

This docket book, kept from 1828 to 1830, appears to have been kept by John O. Cook, of Starkey, Yates County, NY. It records cases heard in an unknown, but possibly Yates County, NY, 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, Dundee, NY, and a few were appealed. In addition to Yates County, some cases were in then Steuben County, now Schuyler County, NY, towns. The book seems to have passed into the hands of Ezra D. Cook, son of John O., who kept farm accounts in the back from about 1839 to 1843.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
