Prior to 1840 the chancery court was held by the supreme court during its Orleans County sessions, so the chancery docket is included in the supreme court dockets for those years (see Series SUPR-OR-001). Beginning in 1880, chancery court was held as part of county court sessions, and its docket was recorded in a separate section of the county court docket for each term (see Series ORCC-001).
