This is not going to be a very interesting post, but I'm hoping someone here may have run into the some difficulty I have regarding Westmoreland County Deeds, Wills and Orders, Book #19, 1793-1799.

The book binder itself says it includes Orders. The LVA web site of county microfilms says it contains orders for 1796.  [There are order books for the years surrounding 1796, but nor 1796 itself, and yes I checked them both just in case.]

Today, I went through book #19 page by page at the court house and I assure you I could not find any court orders in this book other than those ordering a will, deed, inventory or account to record.

The reason this came up is that a client sent me a reference to a law suit supposedly in this book from May 1796. AIn't there!

Any ideas, anyone?

P.S. 	The title on the binder says "Part 1" but there does not seem to be a Part 2. It is not at the court house and is not on the LVA site. The extant book covers 1794-1799 (not 1793, though the earliest documents were executed, of course, before being recorded beginning in January 1794.)
