Index to Deeds 1818-1870

This index now includes Lawrence County deeds from 1818-1870, the period covered by the first master index. 

For Deed Books A – H, which were originally abstracted by Vicky L. Hutchings, the database includes dates, every name, and other valuable information. 

For Deed Books I – P, the database includes only the information recorded in the master index: Grantor, Grantee, Type, Book, and Page #. 

If you request a deed through this website, you will receive a copy of the new, higher quality digitized image.

The original deed books are held by the Lawrence County Register of Deeds and can be viewed at their office.

The old microfilm has also been digitized by FamilySearch, and can be viewed for free on their website. For links and detailed instructions, see Digitized Records Online 

Note on language: For Bks. A-H, all identifiers and familial relationships, such “-exec.” and “-wife” are as specified in the deed abstracts from which this index was created. Where an enslaved person was named, that name has been included. If unnamed, any available identifying information has been used, e.g. “female – abt. 20,” “his wife,” or “and their children”.

Books I and K have been abstracted since the creation of this database, and the additional information will be added in the future. 

If you find an error compared to an original deed, please let us know.

Note: When searching for full names, use: Last Name, First Name (or initial)
