County court order books contain records of all matters brought before the court while in session. The information contained in these records may not appear elsewhere. The order books typically provide a synopsis of court cases in a relatively organized format. Records you may find include appointments of local officials, records of legal disputes such as property disputes, estate disputes, and disputes involving slaves and servants, certificates granted for apprehending runaway servants and delivering letters, and much more. This information is similar to our present day small claims and civil courts. This volume contains entries from Loudoun County, Virginia Order Book B, 1762-1765 beginning on page 338 and ending on page 491 for Courts held April 12, 1764 through October 10, 1764.
