There were apparently no court records kept by the Swedish settlers in Pennsylvania. After the Dutch gained control of the area, minutes were kept of court actions. Minutes from 1655-1657 are found in vol. 12 beginning on page 133 of John Romeyn Brodhead and E. B. O'Callaghan, ''Documents Relative to the Colonial History of the State of New York: Procured in Holland, England, and France'', 15 vols.; volume 12, ''Documents Relating to the History of the Dutch and Swedish Settlements on the Delaware River ''(Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlehitlist&columns=*%2C0%2C0&callno=974.7+H2d 974.7 H2d; film 824389] item 2). | There were apparently no court records kept by the Swedish settlers in Pennsylvania.

In 1673, the Dutch organized three judicial districts, two in what is now Delaware and one in Upland, now Chester County, Pennsylvania. For the records of this court see Edward Armstrong, ed., ''Record of Upland Court from the 14th of November, 1676, [to] the 14th of June, 1681 ''(Family History Library film 571147 item 1). The English retained these districts for a period of time after they gained permanent control of New Netherlands. Appeal from these courts was made to the Court of Assizes in New York. | In 1673, the Dutch organized three judicial districts, two in what is now Delaware and one in Upland, now Chester County, Pennsylvania.
