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 appointments of local officials and militia officers, records of legal disputes, appointments of guardians for minors, apprenticeships of minors authorized by overseers of the poor, naturalizations, road orders, and the Register of free Negroes. This volume contains entries from Northumberland County Order Book 1652-1665 beginning on page 1 and ending on page 144 for courts held from 20 September 1652 through 21 September 1657.
