County court docket entries are brief, sometimes noting only the names of parties and whether it was a capias case (requiring arrest) or a summons case. Many entries note that the dispute was over a debt. Some entries record whether parties appeared, outcome, payment of fees, and other details often given in cryptically abbreviated form. Dockets do not record dates of specific cases, only date of term. (Apparently terms were quarterly.) Some later entries include amount of debt or amount of bail. Philadelphia County Court dockets, 1758-1776; New Castle Court docket, 1760-1764; York County Court docket, 1773-1774; Bucks County Court docket, 1774; and Lancaster County Court docket, February 1775. The last two dockets (1769-72 and 1772-76) are titled "Peter J. Lloyd Phila. Co. Court Docket."
