LAND/PROPERTY RECORDS

 

*As with all transcribing, errors can and do occur. I have tried to do my best in reading these old documents. I have tried to keep the orginial spellings within the documents. Kilpatrick's, for example are listed within the same document as Kirkpatrick. Sometimes you come across the clerk who is intent on spelling a name as many ways as he can within one document. I have taken some liberty with puntuation at times and arrangement for easier reading however.
