Abstract:

Miscellaneous records of the Crawford County Register of Deeds. The majority of this series refers to a project, circa 1905, to trace county land titles to their origins, apparently in an attempt to check the accuracy of the title indexes and to bring them into conformity with standard practice. This section of the series is organized by town or township and traces the land back to the original French lots or entry. The notes and work plans associated with this project are also part of this series. Also included are territorial deeds and mortgages, some naming Joseph Brisbois, James Lockwood, and H. L. Dousman; a hand drawn plat map; records relating to property taxes and assessments, tax exempt property, swamp land improvement, and preemption; the 1881 Articles of Association for Sacred Heart College in Prairie du Chien; and miscellaneous other legal documents.
