Abstract:

Indexes to Columbia County deeds (Columbia Series 22) containing names of grantors (sellers) and grantees (purchasers) noted in real estate deeds. Shows the date and time the deed was recorded, names of grantor and grantee, type of instrument, description of the property, and volume and page number of the deed record where the instrument is recorded. Some indexes refer to instruments filed as early as 1828 and late as 1926, however, the bulk of the deeds in Columbia Series 22 date from 1846 through 1916. While there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the indexes and deeds, the time range 1846-1916 is covered in both series.

Indexes are divided into two broad categories: original handwritten indexes, 1846-1902 (reels 12-18), and typewritten transcriptions of those indexes, 1828-1926 (reels 1-11). Original Indexes are further sub-divided by Grantees, 1846-1901 (reels 12-15) and Grantors, 1854-1902 (reels 15-18). Note that deeds were not indexed by grantors until 1854. Transcribed Indexes are further sub-divided by time ranges (1828-1886 and 1887-1926) and thereunder by grantor/grantee. For the time period 1828-1886 there is one set of grantee indexes, 1828-1886 (reels 1-3) and two sets of grantor indexes, 1828-1866 (reels 6-7) and 1867-1886 (reels 8-9). For the time period 1887-1926 there is one set of grantee indexes, 1887-1926 (reels 3-6) and one set of grantor indexes, 1887-1906 (reels 9-11).

Researchers may want to begin by using the transcribed indexes because they cover a wider time span and are easier to read. Be aware that there is no guarantee that all entries were transcribed nor transcribed accurately. If you do not find the entry you are looking for, use the original indexes.

Separate indexes for grantors and grantees, arranged roughly chronological. Within each volume, entries are arranged alphabetically by the first letter of surname and thereunder roughly chronological by date recorded.

This series is available only on microfilm.
