APPENDIX:
It must be understood that the lists of sheriffs and members
of the General Assembly are more or less incomplete and subject to
correction. The original records are all difficult, and some
are incomplete. While all the following lists are known to be
correct in most cases, it has not been possible to verify them in
some instances.

JUDGES OF COUNTY COURT.
From 1778 to
1852 the county court was composed of a number of
justices appointed by the Governor; from 1852 to 1869 it
was composed of a similar body of justices elected by
the people; from 1869 to 1870 the body of justices held
office by military appointment, under the Reconstruction
Acts; and in April, 1870, the system of county courts,
presided over by a single justice, went into operation. |
