MADISON COUNTY, KENTUCKY COURT ORDER BOOK A, 1787 - 1791.

Bowie: Heritage Books, Inc., Book. Very Good. Soft cover. (1996), v, 152pp, index. Wrps. VG+. From the publisher's notes: "This order book covers the time period from 1787 to 1791. At this time Madison County included all of present day Clay, Jackson, and Owsley Counties, and parts of Breathittt, Estil, Garrard, Lee, Leslie, and Rockcastle Counties. This collection of abstracts is largely but not solely based on the Minute Book, which was the record used to take notes while court was in session. The Order Book, which is a clerk's copy of the Minute Book and is kept in the vault room at the courthouse, contains some information which the Minute Book does not. To be sure that no detail was overlooked Mrs. Couture used both sources. Examples of the matters found within these records are the exchange of deeds in property sales, lawsuits, road surveys, establishing care for orphans and the marking of livestock, among others.".
