Land and chattel records filed with the court for recording. The land records include deeds, mortgages, releases, leases, assignments, powers of attorney, agreements, easements, commissions, and some plats. The chattel records, dating through 1827, consist of bills of sale, mortgages, depositions, manumissions, notices of strays, and cattle marks. The instruments provide dates of execution and recording, names of the parties, and descriptions of the land, personal property, or subject matter. Entries are arranged chronologically by recording dates. Also available also on microfilm in series CM440 and CM445. Indexing is found in (Land Records, Grantee Index) in series C712 and C2750 and on film in series CM439 and CM441 and (Land Records, Grantor Index) in series C713 and C2774 and on film in series CM446 and CM442. See also abstracts of these land records in C697, S1355, S1335 and Special Collection SC6216. Chattel documents beginning in 1827 are recorded in (Chattel Records) in series C691, C392, and T1936. Land commissions for 1716-1721 and 1820-1878 are found in (Land Commissions) in series C707 and C708. Thirty-two of the land record books between 1899 and 1947 are being included in the plats project in order to preserve the information being compromised by physical deterioration of the original volumes.
