This list is in chronological order by filing or issuance date. From
each case, you can hyperlink to (1) an abstract or summary of what the
case is all about, (2) transcriptions of each document in the case and
(3) scanned images of the original documents. The original documents were
almost all handwritten in early nineteenth century legal language—they
can be hard to read and understand. Therefore, we have provided transcripts
and abstracts to assist your use of these historic materials. If you don't
know which case you are seeking, you can search by name in the List
of Personal Names, by subject in the Subject
Index, by place in the List of Places or
by free word with PicoSearch. For more information, see the section on
How to Search. For definitions of words, see
the Glossary of Terms.
CAVEAT: Eventually over 200 cases will be in the database. They are added
in chronological order. At this time the first 108 cases are listed here
and the previous list of cases (see Cases 1809-1827).
