MySource:CC/Judgements: Delaware County (NY) Court of Common Pleas. 1797-1808

The Court of Common Pleas was the civil court in the early days of Delaware County. The first Common Pleas Court session in Delaware County was held at the home and tavern of Gideon Frisbee on October 3, 1797. At the time Gideon Frisbee's house was in the Town of Kortright. When the Town of Delhi was erected March 23, 1798, Gideon's land was included in this new town. All Courts and meetings were held there until the summer of 1799 when the Court House/Clerk's Office/Jail was completed in what is now the Village of Delhi.

The Common Pleas Judgment Book, in the County Clerk's Office, is a true copy of the original earlier book. It was copied and checked with the original in accordance with an act passed April 7, 1834. The first entries were on October 4, 1797.
