Book Description
This book is an abstracted transcription of the Lee County Court and Court of Quarter Sessions records May 1808 - August 1811. These records include County Court Order Book 1. Lee County was created from the western section of Russell County in 1792 and became effective with the first meeting of the County Court in 1793. Jonesville was chosen as the county seat. The Order books from 1793 through 1807 were destroyed when the courthouse was burned by Union forces during the Civil War. Originally Lee County included parts of current day Wise and Scott Counties. Lee County lost its eastern most section when Scott County was created in 1814. However, a small piece of north-western Scott County was regained to Lee in 1824. Wise County was created in 1856 and included a portion of north-eastern Lee. In early Virginia history, the County Court was the governing body of a particular county, having judicial power as well as overseeing the fiscal and other affairs of the area within its jurisdiction. The types of orders contained within these records include: Deed Conveyances, Road Orders, Estate Administrator approvals, Executor appointments of Wills, District Boundaries, Criminal Trials, Debt Trials, Officer's Bonds (Sheriffs, Constables, Commissioners, etc.), Militia Officer recommendations, County Levies, Magisterial Court Appeals, Fines, County Expenditures and Revenues, Recommendations for Superior Court trials, Overseers of the Poor orders, Slave related orders, and so much more!

Book Description
This third volume in the ten-volume series covers the career of Henry Clay from the Second Session of the Sixteenth Congress, where he engineered the second Missouri Compromise, to the presidential election of 1824, when he found himself eliminated as a candidate. Upon his return from Congress in 1821, Clay practiced law and interested himself in Transylvania University, among other things. Elected again to the House of Representatives and to the Speakership in the Eighteenth Congress, Clay resumed his leadership in national affairs; his concerns at this period were principally with the Monroe Doctrine, the Spanish and Greek revolutions, and internal improvements and the tariff. A continuing thread in the volume is the presidential campaign of 1824. Clay's correspondence illustrates the changes in political techniques brought about by the emergence of the Jacksonian type of campaign. Sectionalism, already revealed as a danger to the Union, continued as an important issue. Clay's optimistic anticipation of his election of course proved incorrect, and the volume ends with Clay in the powerful but uncomfortable position of being able, by throwing his support to one of three candidates before the House of Representatives, to choose the next President of the United States. Publication of this book was assisted by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
