Acquisition Information
This item came to the Library of Virginia in transfer of court papers from Caroline County.
Historical Information
The plat was used as an exhibit in the chancery suit Hoomes and others versus Hoomes and others heard in the Superior Court of Chancery, Fredericksburg District.
Caroline County was formed in 1728 from Essex, King and Queen, and King William Counties. Additional parts of King and Queen County were added in 1742 and 1762. It was named for Caroline of Anspach, consort of George II.
Most loose records and deed books prior to 1836 and will books prior to 1853 were stolen, mutilated, and/or destroyed by Union troops who ransacked the courthouse in May 1864. A near-complete run of order books exists.
Scope and Content
Plat of Bowling Green Estate, 1825, showing the division of land belonging to the Hoomes family. Information found includes boundary lines and markers, lot numbers and owners of lots, and total acres per lot.
