County Court Minute and Settlements and Bonds Books, 1804-1807

Now online at the Stewart County Archives website:

County Court Minute Book, 1804-1807 (typed version)
Settlements and Bonds Book, 1804-1807 (typed version)

These typewritten transcriptions were created circa 1940s to preserve the original 1804-1807 County Court Minute book and 1804-1807 Settlements and Bonds book.

The original Minute Book has been accessible on microfilm for decades (and now FamilySearch), but the Settlements and Bonds book has never been microfilmed due to its fragile condition; its contents were only available in a 1936 transcription made by the WPA and accessible at the State Library and Archives.

Of special note in the Settlements and Bonds book are eighteen marriage bonds from 1804-1805. They are the only surviving marriage records in the county before 1838.

Scans of these two typed books are now available via the Records page of the Archives website
