The primary grouping is centered around the court case 'Roswell Moses et al. vs. the Turkey Hill Indians tribe,' which includes the petition, court orders, and related documents. A secondary group was created for the exhibit related to 'Derby Savings Bank vs. A. McClellan Mathewson et al.,' as it is a distinct legal document attached to a different case. The TIFF files were matched to their corresponding JPEG files based on their filenames and metadata, ensuring they are grouped with their respective content sets. ## Groups Created - **Moses_vs_TurkeyHill_Court_Petition**: Files containing the petition and court proceedings regarding Roswell Moses et al. vs. the Turkey Hill Indians tribe, including the request for land sale and court orders. - **Derby_Savings_Bank_vs_Mathewson_Exhibit**: Files related to the exhibit attached to the statement of Thomas Phillips in the case of Derby Savings Bank vs. A. McClellan Mathewson et al.
