Pre-1914 court papers located in the Circuit Court for the City of
Fredericksburg, Virginia, are being processed for archival storage and
microfilming. As part of this on-going project, a database containing the
names of primary parties (plaintiffs, defendants, deponents, petitioners,
etc) has been created by the Records Conservation Project. Also included in
the database are Remarks on the contents of records containing documents of
historical or genealogical significance. Over three thousand records
containing Remarks are presented in the Court Records Digest.
Search for Digest entries using the Digest Index, which contains all words
in all Digest entries with the exception of common words (the, and, etc.),
common abbreviations (dec'd, exor, etc.), and abbreviations for which
complete words also exist in the same record (Comlth for Commonwealth, Wm.
for William, etc.). The index does not contain initials or non-alphabetic
characters.
All words have been entered in the database spelled as they were found in
the original documents (typos excepted). Consequently, several variations
of a word may appear in the same word table. The lack of punctuation in
early documents also produces variations on a single word ("Taliaferros"
may have been used for "Taliaferro's" or for "Taliaferros", denoting
several people named "Taliaferro"). In the instance of the use of "Slave"
and "Slaves", the plural form was intentionally used to indicate records
containing references to more than one slave.

Court Papers
Court papers in the Circuit Court for the City of Fredericksburg are from
the following courts:
Hustings / Corporation Court for the Town / City of Fredericksburg
(1782-1941)
District Court for the Spotsylvania District (1789-1808)
Superior Court of Law for Spotsylvania County (1808-1831)
Superior Court of Chancery for the Spotsylvania District (1814-1831)
Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery for Spotsylvania County
(1831-1851)
Circuit Court for Spotsylvania County (1852-1889)
Circuit Court for the City of Fredericksburg (1889-current)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Courts in the Commonwealth of Virginia
Hustings / Corporation Court
The Hustings Court, also known as the Corporation Court in
jurisdictions incorporated as independent cities, was the town/city
equivalent of the County Court. It was presided over by Justices under
the Mayor of the town/city and heard civil and criminal matters. Civil
actions on appeal and criminal matters resulting in conviction were
sent to the next higher court (Hustings Court to District Court /
Superior Court and Corporation Court to Circuit Court) for further
action.
District Court
District Courts, created in order to relieve the General Court of the
congestion of common law cases, were established in eighteen Virginia
localities and the district of Kentucky in 1789. Each district was
comprised of several counties and court was held twice a year in each
district. General Court judges presided over the District Courts. The
court for the District of Spotsylvania included Spotsylvania,
Caroline, King George, Stafford, Orange, Culpeper and Counties.
District Courts were abolished in 1808, being replaced by Superior
Courts of Law.

Notes:
Madison County was also part of the District for Spotsylvania as
evidenced by the court records.
The records for the Spotsylvania District Court are located in
Fredericksburg because the District Court sat in the Fredericksburg
courthouse, not in the Spotsylvania County courthouse. Consequently,
this Court is often referred to as the Fredericksburg District Court.
Among the records in Fredericksburg are a number of cases which were
instituted in the General Court and moved later to the newly created
District Court.
Superior Court of Law
Superior Courts of Law were created in 1808, superceding the District
Courts and maintaining the same district structure for criminal and
civil cases. The courts, established in each county, met twice a year,
presided over by a General Court judge riding a circuit from county to
county. Consequently, these courts are often referred to as "Circuit
Courts", "Circuit Courts of Law" or "Circuit Superior Courts".

Note:
The records for Spotsylvania Superior Court of Law are located in
Fredericksburg because the court sat in the Fredericksburg courthouse,
not in the Spotsylvania County courthouse. Consequently, this Court is
often referred to as the Fredericksburg Superior Court of Law.
Superior Court of Chancery
Superior Courts of Chancery were created in 1802 in order to expedite
the hearing of chancery cases, which had previously been heard in the
High Court of Chancery. Superior Courts were established in three
districts and are sometimes referred to as "District Courts of
Chancery". The number of Superior Court districts was increased to six
in 1812, to eight in 1813/1814 and to nine late in 1814. The
Spotsylvania District for the Superior Court of Chancery, established
in 1814, included Caroline, Culpeper, Fauquier, Fairfax, Lancaster,
Northumberland, Madison, King George, Orange, Prince William,
Richmond, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Essex and Westmoreland Counties and
the Town of Fredericksburg.

not in the Spotsylvania County courthouse. Consequently, this Court is

Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery
Circuit Superior Courts of Law and Chancery were created in 1831,
superceding the Superior Courts of Law and the Superior Courts of
Chancery. The courts, held in each county twice a year and presided
over by a General Court judge riding a circuit from county to county,
were abolished in 1852 when the Virginia Constitution of 1851 became
effective.

this Court is often referred to as the Fredericksburg Superior Court
of Law and Chancery. The Court Order Book for the period shows the
last reference to Law and Chancery appearing in the May 1850 court
term.
Circuit Court
Circuit Courts, established in 1852, were held twice a year in each
county and were presided over by a judge riding a circuit from county
to county.

Notes:
The records for Spotsylvania Circuit Court through 1889 are located in
Fredericksburg because the court sat in the Fredericksburg courthouse,
not in the Spotsylvania County courthouse, until Fredericksburg was
incorporated as an independent city at which time this court was
convened at the Spotsylvania County courthouse and the Fredericksburg
Circuit Court was established in the City of Fredericksburg. The Court
Order Book for the period shows the first reference to Circuit Court
appearing in 16 August 1850 proceedings.

RECORDS CONSERVATION PROJECT
The Records Conservation Project, or RCP, a volunteer project under the
auspices of Historic Fredericksburg Foundation, Incorporated, was started
in 1990 for the purpose of identifying historic court documents which may
be candidates for conservation due to their scholarly, historic or
intrinsic value and raising funds for conservation of candidate documents.
To that end, a database was created to provide an inventory of court paper
records and a record of the identity and location of candidate documents.
That database was the basis for the CPICS database currently used at the
Circuit Court for the City of Fredericksburg for inventorying, indexing,
and cataloging court paper records and from which the Court Records Digest
was produced. CPICS (Court Papers Indexing and Cataloging System) also
serves as a finding aid to court papers.
The mission of the RCP has since expanded to one of assisting Circuit Court
Clerks in court records preservation. The RCP, operating out of
Fredericksburg, Virginia, is currently providing assistance in the Virginia
Circuit Courts of Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford. Assistance is
provided in the form of :
* recruiting, training and coordinating volunteers
* processing court papers for archival storage
* data entry
* repairing court records
* providing recommendations for records storage, access and maintenance
* donating archival materials
* raising funds for records preservation
* coordinating preservation efforts
* recommending preservation alternatives
* recommending preservation priorities
* seeking and obtaining preservation grants
* educating the public in appropriate record handling procedures
Records preservation, even with thousands of volunteer hours, is expensive
and there is much work yet to be done. If you would like to make a lasting
contribution to history please consider making a tax-deductible donation to
the Records Conservation Project. Donations should be sent to :
HFFI-RCP
P.O. Box 8327
Fredericksburg, VA 22404
Sponsorship of memorial projects, such as preservation of a specific record
book, may be arranged. Please contact the Director of the RCP at
bmcghee@interserf.net to make sponsorship arrangements.
