Washington County Records

Washington County was formed in 1784. The earliest land grants to Revolutionary War soldiers were made in Washington County, however, the plats and deeds did not survive. The early records of Washington County were destroyed, but there are some estate records beginning ca 1851. No wills. The indexes provided below reflect the existing estate books.

Maps were scanned in such a manner as to provide details for locating creeks, branches, rivers, lakes, churches, schools and cemeteries. This will enable you to better locate the old homeplace using the description from old non-specific deeds. Also, a convenience in locating both private and public cemeteries in the area.
