Note that I removed "Coloardo Superior Court", because AFAIKT, it doesn't exist. Neither Google or GPT4 show any record of this existing.

Thanks @mlissner

@warrenronsiek - Im not sure I agree with your assessment about the superior courts but I think there may be confusion because there were courts called the Superior Court in and for the County of Denver in the 1800s.

While I am not sure about whether their were more than Denver, The assumption I make its that there probably were and so Colorado Superior Court is a "parent court" for the Denver superior court.

Sometimes it's In the Superior Court of Denver, sometimes it's in and for the county of Denver.

Unfortunately, we are often basing the courts on actual courts we see in books. but that there aren't long historical records for.

"location": "Utah",
"name": "Salt Lake City Register and Receiver",
"notes": "Pre-Statehood Court: No information yet found",
"notes": "Register/Receiver terms are historically associated with the management of public lands in the United States, particularly in the context of the General Land Office (GLO) during western expansion. May have served quasi-judicial role in certain circumstances, but its not a court.",

@warrenronsiek these are great thank you so much for the work you put into this. I think I have a few small quibbles with some of it - but Im happy to discuss outlier cases
