Keep in mind that the date of a case in the LVA chancery index (1870 in this case) is when the case ended, not when it began.  Chancery cases often dragged on for a decade or more, so the original parties might be dead by the time the case was decided.  Take a look at the early documents in the file to see when the case began.
