Index of Names and Places

Submitted by Crystal Dingler



Indexing Deed Book A is complete! I have also included all of the names and place names associated with the deeds. Sometimes just knowing that someone was there to witness a deed is helpful or what creek the property was on or near. Of course, it is always helpful to know who the neighbors were. I've done my best to provide this kind of information. If you have suggestions on how I might do this in a way more beneficial to your research, please let me know. As always, if you find errors or omissions, please email me. Thanks.
