Early records of court minutes provide an excellent source of names, because these records precede the county's first extant census of 1820. Almost everyone had dealings with the courts, whether they were serving on a jury, suing a neighbor, or being sent to jail! The information, chronologically arranged, was transcribed from microfilm. Every name has been indexed for easy reference. The court minutes include the names of the officials who were present at each session and the names of the parties involved in the court proceedings.
