Each settlement commenced with a lawsuit heard before the chancellor. If the chancellor determined that the land in a bill should be sold by decree of partition, the clerk and master held a sale, usually on the courthouse steps, the land going to the highest bidder, generally on time and with interest. \"It would appear that the workbook was devised by James A. Greer, clerk and master of the Chancery Court, to aid him in receiving funds from the sale of lands necessitated by the order of the court. Equally important to Mr. Greer, and the court, was the disbursement of the funds in the correct proportion to the legal heirs.

There are road orders included that show persons living along a certain stretch of roads thus giving neighborhoods as they were volunteered by the court to donate \"hands\" to work the roads near their homes and property.
