In 1776, Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, was formed from a portion of the western part of Augusta County, Virginia, and in 1779 and 1780 small portions of West Augusta were annexed to Monongalia County. This series contains abstracts of the only surviving court records for the early years of Monongalia County derived from the district court which served Monongalia, Harrison, Randolph, and Ohio Counties, and the surrounding counties.
The court records presented in this volume deal predominantly with civil matters such as bad debts, slander, trespass, disputes over land, and the settlement of estates. Papers from other courts appear at times, usually having to do with actions concerning area citizens. Each name of a person, place or thing has been presented here as it has been deciphered, with no attempt to modernize or regulate spelling.
