Series II. New York, New Jersey, and Tennessee Court Records, 1709-1915, undated, inclusive

Extent

3 Linear Feet in 2 and a half record cartons, and 2 flat boxes.

Scope and Contents

This series contains legal records from a variety of local and state courts from New York, New Jersey, and Tennessee. The bulk of the material comes from the New York State Court of Appeals, the court of last resort, from the early 1900s. Legal records dating from the Chancery Courts of New York and New Jersey, the highest court in New York State from 1777 to 1846, are fairly well represented in this series. A small group of legal records from the Supreme Courts of Westchester, Kings, and Erie Counties are also present in this series along with a small number of undated legal records from unidentified courts.
