Details:
New York Supreme Court manuscript court decision dated August 4, 1814, relating to a complex land partition dispute in Dutchess County, New York. The handwritten document records a judicial determination that the subject property—comprising multiple parcels with buildings and improvements—could not be equitably divided among the several owners without material prejudice, and therefore orders the commissioners to sell the premises at public auction following proper notice.
The case involves multiple parties, including Warren Rogers and Mary Rogers (the eldest Tobias), along with other heirs and stakeholders, and reflects early 19th-century property law practices governing inheritance, partition, and judicial sale. The decision outlines acreage, parcel descriptions, and the court’s rationale for ordering a sale rather than physical division, offering a detailed snapshot of early American land jurisprudence.
Near fine condition.
This manuscript exemplifies the procedural workings of the New York Supreme Court in the post-Revolutionary period.
