Notes
The commissioner of the revenue registered births and deaths for the county and then turned his books over to the clerk of the County Court. The clerk made abstracts to send to the state auditor and would also preserve the books in his office.
The register of births gives date of birth, name of child, sex, race (if before 1864 and "colored", whether slave or free), if born alive or dead, birthplace, parents' names (if before 1864, slave owner's name), father's occupation and residence, mothers name, how many born at the birth, deformity or any circumstances of interest, sources of information and relationship of informant to person born. Information is not always complete.
The register of deaths gives the name of the deceased, race (if "colored" and before 1863, whether slave or free), name of slave owner before 1863, sex, death date and place, cause of death, age, parents' names, birthplace, occupation, name of spouse or if unmarried, sources of information and relationship of informant to deceased. Information is not always complete.
