This dataset includes 18 TIFF files showing court orders from Old Rappahannock County in Virginia. They were created to settle disputes between residents within Old Rappahannock County and ultimately issue punishments, judgments, and fines. These documents were used to identify escaped unfree laborers in the 17th century Chesapeake and the punishments associated with their escape.
