Re: Seeking Court of Chancery Records in New York
Susannah Brooks Nov 24, 2020 6:45 PM (in response to Sarah Glass)The index to the Court of Chancery Archives in New York (1683-1847) is on Ancestry.com. https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61791/
The only Jesse Smiths listed were 2 cases in 1775 and 1 in 1792. These were criminal cases, not guardianships. The only two Ebenezer Platt cases were a debt case in 1793 and a trespass case in 1785.
