Selected Abstracts from Court Order Books (1809–1828)

Summary

These abstracts from Caldwell County Court Order Books (1809-1828) document the official proceedings of the county court, which had broad jurisdiction over civil matters, probate, land records, appointments of county officials, road construction and maintenance, licensing, and other administrative functions. Court order books are valuable genealogical resources as they record appointments of guardians and administrators, apprenticeships, road work assignments, jury lists, licenses issued, and various petitions and orders that mention residents of the county during this early period of settlement.

Happy Greer, who provided the following data, has provided the LDS Film Numbers for the reels of film she used to transcribe and abstract the material.
