Did the courts in one county have jusidiction in another? I have a court order in Goochland in an 1835 lawsuit forcing the sale of an estate's property, yet I cannot find that the deceased ever purchased, patented, or paid taxes in Goochland on such a piece of land. I was wondering if it could have been in another county. If so I would have expected the suit to be brought in said county ... does anyone know? Dick Clark, fellow searcher searcher
