County Records
Many
records have been lost in the fires at the Scott County courthouses. Some
records were saved and recopied. Some have blanks and/or words missing
and sometimes a series
of dots
to indicate missing words. In some cases entire pages are missing.
When researching records prior to August, 1837, be sure to check all
books, since some records are out
of
order. Fox example, this happened in the County Court Order Books.
Copies were found by residents of Scott County and brought to the Clerk's
office at a later date and then ordered
to be
re-recorded. It is necessary to study the index carefully, but if the
name sought is not there, don't assume there is no record for that person.
It may be necessary for you to
search
the records page by page. Further, do not limit your search to books
marked for specific years. Records were frequently copied onto the wrong
page or into the wrong book.
