Commissioners Deeds

Prior to 1866 Commissioners Deeds are found in the Deed books. Starting in ? Commissioners Deeds had their own separate books.


 * 1816-1956 See Kentucky State Archives catalog. The Kentucky State Archive catalog entry might be found confusing. The start date of 1816 is indictative only that Commissioner Deeds are available at the Kentucky State Archives (in the microfilms of the deed books). It does not mean that the Archives have separate Commissioner Deed Book beginning in 1816.
