Many state reporters (where cases appealed to the state supreme court) are summarized have been digitized by GoogleBooks. While most of the summaries focus on the reasons behind the appeal, there may be genealogical details in the cases and the existence of an appeal would indicate an original action in a lower court.

One way to locate entries in these reporters is to include the last name, the name of the county, and the name of the state when searching in GoogleBooks at http://books.google.com
