Letter, Walter A. Plecker, Richmond, to A.T. Shields, Lexington.
Description
An account of the resource
In a letter to A.T. Shields, Walter Plecker asserted that Judge Holt's decision to categorize Atha Sorrells as white despite her Indian heritage had "emboldened" the Rockbridge tribe. Nonetheless, he advised against appealing the Sorrells case to the Supreme Court because the court might rule in her favor.

Description
An account of the resource
In a letter to Turner McDowell, clerk of the Circuit Court in Botetourt County, Walter Plecker probed the legality of the marriage between Grace Mohler and Samuel Christian Branham. The court ruled that Branham was a "Negro" and ordered him "never again to live with" his wife. That Branham considered himself "white" made no difference to Plecker or the court.

Petition for mandamus, <em>Atha Sorrells v. A.T. Shields, Clerk</em>
Description
An account of the resource
A.T. Shields, clerk of the Circuit Court of Rockbridge County, denied Atha Sorrells and Robert Painter a marriage license because of Sorrells' Indian heritage. Sorrells and Painter brought action against Shields, and Judge Holt ruled in their favor, arguing that there was not "an appreciable amount of foreign blood" because Sorrells's Indian ancestor had lived almost 130 years ago.
