GREENE COUNTY.
Greene county was formed in 1786 from the big
county of Washington, which contained large tracts of bounty land
settled by Revolutionary Soldiers. The interior of the classic old
Court House has recently been remodeled and the records that are left
from the "ravaging tooth of time," are now in fire-proof vaults. The
piles of old books, papers and pamphlets, in the office of the
Ordinary, containing Minutes of the Inferior Court. Wills, Bonds,
Appraisements and marriage records, should now be renovated and copied
to be in keeping with their new quarters. The oldest book found was
Book "A," 1787 to 1796, containing over 300 pages of mixed records,
with no index. The next was Book "D." 1800 to 1806, so
there is a gap of four years in the wills.
This book is not indexed, but all the rest are. Marriage records are in
the backs of the old books and are not indexed till the year 1817, when
they were put in books to themselves and indexed.
The deeds in the Clerk's office are in about two dozen old books up to
1850, and are in very good condition. In this office is an old
manuscript that should certainly be reclaimed. It is in a roll and
altogether too tender to be handled, but it contains a long list of
names of the first settlers in Greene county, where they were from, and
the number of their children. I would respectfully suggest to the
County Commissioners that a restoration of this old scroll, by the
crepeline process, would be money well spent.
Will Book "A," 1787 to 1796.
