Court Record: Henry Fortenberry – assault

---

Synopsis

Page from a typed index of criminal case files. The entries match Cape Girardeau County, Missouri: one note says the defendants "could be located in [sic] Cape Girardeau County," and another says "to Perry County." The columns are court (Territorial, Circuit, or Unknown), box/folder, year, defendant, and charge. The relevant entry is: Territorial, 24/51, 1812, Fortenberry, Henry, Assault & Battery, victim Dunn, John. The rest of the page (Foley through Foster, 1805-1949) is unrelated and is transcribed below for completeness. The 1812 Henry Fortenberry was possibly a son or other relative of James Leath Fortenberry, who lived in the Cape Girardeau district by 1809, but that is not yet confirmed. The top line of the page is cut off in the image.
