# Reorganization Summary The files were organized chronologically and thematically according to the legal process documented in the case: (1) initial petition documents, (2) court decrees and orders, (3) reports of the completed sale and accounting, and (4) financial records. This grouping follows the natural progression of the legal case while maintaining thematic coherence. Each document was placed in the group that best represents its primary content, with some documents appearing in multiple groups when they contained content relevant to multiple phases of the case. ## Groups Created - **Petition_Documents**: Documents related to the original petition filed by Roswell Moses and others regarding the sale of Turkey Hill land - **Court_Decree_and_Orders**: Documents containing the court's decree and subsequent orders regarding the land sale - **Sale_Report_and_Accounting**: Documents reporting on the completed land sale and accounting of proceeds - **Financial_Records**: Documents containing financial details and bills related to the case
