Smyth County, Virginia Order Book 19, 1893-1897

Order Book 19 begins at Court on Monday 17 July 1893 with a listing of deeds and other writings which were admitted to record since the last court term and ends 543 pages later on Saturday 17 April 1897 with the ordered release from Jail of Fred Shinault [Chenault], upon payment of fine and Costs. Several (at least two) clerks were responsible for the entries, one of whom wrote in a small handwriting, sometimes unclear and occasionally squeezing entries in between the usual lines (especially in the listing of deeds and other writings), making interpretation difficult on occasion.
