Court Order Books recorded the proceedings of daily courts. This included appointment of guardians and binding out of poor or orphan children, suits for ill treatment of indentured servants and slaves, presentation of wills and other probate matters, recommendations for new or altered roads with appointment of surveyors and providers of hands, appointment and confirmation of militia officers, various offences, law suits, and other court matters. Loose papers, when available, may be located using information from these Order Books. Often information entered in Order Books can be found in no other court records and may provide vital clues about ancestors.
