The source
of this Walnut Twp. Docket Book is the original ledger with cases recorded from
December 1855 through March 1871. It is the only Docket Book I have knowledge of
and I have included all the information contained therein. I have carefully
checked spelling of names in all cases and have transcribed them as they appear
in the original. If there is doubt regarding the spelling, I have included a
note showing the other possibility. Hoping this provides some clues to Pickaway
Co. Researchers...Rachel Meyer
