The Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court is a good place to conduct genealogical research. The Clerk’s Office contains the following materials:
- Will records beginning in the 1600′s
- Deed records beginning in the early 1700′s
- Birth records 1853 to 1885
- Death records 1853 to 1876
- Marriage records beginning in 1772
If the researcher provides a book and page number reference, the Clerk’s Office staff will make copies at a cost of 50 cents per page.
