Films from Rockingham County found in Family History Library Catalog, ordered and used at the FHC in LV March/April/May of 2003
Film number 0019704 Minutes, Rockingham Co, NC Court of Pleas & Quarter Session (1786 -1795)
This film shows documents that are very discolored, ink has soaked thru from the other side of page, it is ripped, attempts to tape it has made part unreadable and almost impossible to copy.
Dates...just not given in the beginning. Document would say that it was a quarter court meeting in a season or month and then the end of said court would be missing. It is obvious some documents are just gone and so there is no resolution.
Spelling of McCollum. In early documents it can be McCollom, Mcollum, Mcallum and so on. Anything that looked familiar I tried to copy. I didn’t take McCollock or McCallister as they seemed established by that spelling.
Summer Time? 1786
Ordered that William McCollum (McCollom) be appointed Overseer of the road from the Mago?? River to Wm. Gallanas Store & that to the South that the hard convenient keep the same in good repair.
Some pages further and may be same date.
Ordered that James Mc Collum be cited to appear at the next Court to be held for and to explain ......County? And render an account of his Executorship as it is suggested..........to the Court that he is making away with the Estate to the Prejudice of the descendants ....... of Daniel McCollum Deceased.
Some pages further on and again no date.
Ordered that a citation which (large blurred space) against DAVID MCCOLLUM JR. .... mistake ......Court office (more space or blurring about four words....looks like a tape was put over this to save paper and ruined writing) against JAMES MCCOLLUM who appointed to be executor of DAMIEL MCCOLLUM Decd and that he return true account of his Executorship.
Yseec or like a Zfsec...the fs is probably a "s" in that day but I am not sure about the Z or sidewards V that comes before it. Missionaries at the FHC couldn’t figure it out.
Aug. Court. Misdeamor fine but then looks like 12 men named to be jury and James McCollum is #7 or was the 7th one fined.
Nov.Ct. 1786
John McCollum came into Court to prove a deed from Isacck White to Joshua Priest for 640 Acres of land
Nov. 28 1791 Richard Thrasher in a Slander Case which he evidently wins. No detail just name, Slander and jury finds for Plaintiff
