I would think it would be in court minute books. kristina _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vaprinc2/_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vaprinc2/) _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vanorfol/_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vanorfol/) _www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com_ (http://www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com/) In a message dated 1/7/2011 8:04:35 A.M.

The court case took place Sept. 1806 in Shenandoah County, VA. The information I have is that Elizabeth BLACKWOOD committed assault on William LAWRENCE. She was sentenced to 2 years in jail plus a 1,500 fine. I found this information on a personal web-site and have not been able to confirm the information. I contacted the Virginia State Library, and they did not find this case in the chancery records. Would an assault case even be in the chancery records? Any information or ideas on where I can search will be greatly appreciated.
