Minute Books

General Information

The early court clerks kept Minute Books to record all matters brought before the court on a daily basis when it was in session including but not limited to: civil and criminal suits, appointments of county officers, appointments of guardians and administrators, deed recordings, free negro registrations, naturalization registrations, and court fees. Clerks would transfer information from minute books to appropriate order book, deed book, fiduciary book, free negro register, etc. Some years may be spread over several books, some years may be missing. Below is a list of all the Minute Books we have in our office. Click on book titles below to view a PDF version of the book. Click on years at the top of the first table to view each list.
