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 rulings of the court in civil matters such as property disputes and slaves, and much more. This volume contains records from Caroline County Order Book, 1781-1785, beginning on page 238 and ending on page 458 for courts held 14 August 1783 through 9 September 1784. An every-name index adds to the value of this work. (?), 2020, 81/2x11, paper, index, 114 pp
