Background

Scope and content:

Frederick County (Va.) Court Record, 1854. The collection contains an envelope addressed to George Bowman, Strasburg, Virginia. The envelope was removed from an unknown series of Frederick County court records.

Biographical / historical:

Frederick County was named in honor of Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales and eldest son of George II. It was formed from Orange County in 1738, but, because the region was sparsely settled, county government was not organized until 1743. Part of Augusta County was added later.

This record was replevined by the Library of Virginia following the trial entitled Commonwealth of Virginia vs. Larry I. Vass heard in Henrico County Circuit Court in November 1972.
