The '''Family History Library''' has some colonial records from minor courts including court of admiralty, court of trials, court of vice-admiralty, justices' court, and the general council. The library has 78 microfilms of petitions to the general assembly, 1725 to 1867, when the assembly often served as a general court. The library also has many court records from Newport and Washington counties. You can obtain copies of other records by contacting the clerk's office in each county courthouse. | The '''Family History Library''' has some colonial records from minor courts including court of admiralty, court of trials, court of vice-admiralty, justices' court, and the general council.
