I need help deciphering a date from a court citation in Lyman
Chalkley's "Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia," (volume 2, Records of
Augusta County Virginia 1745 - 1800).  The extract refers to Smith vs.
Smith -- O.S. 333; N.S. 120, but doesn't include the filing date which
Augusta Courthouse sez it needs to help locate the file.

Clalkley's lists a will filed in Rockingham in January 1799 (which
Rockingham sez was sent to Augusta) and summarizes the ensuing will
challenge.  With the limited information I have about the family and from
the description in Chalkley's, I've narrowed the filing date down to
between 1810 - 1826.  I'm hoping that someone out there is experienced with
the O.S. & N.S. citations and that that might lead me to a more targeted
date.

Much thanks for any help you can provide.  This law suit will unravel one
of the mysteries in my lines.
