Caldwell County DeedsCaldwell County DeedsThis page created 28 Apr 2007
The records below focus on deeds involving the descendants of Col. Linah Mims and Rebeccah Davis, of Greenbrier Co., Virginia, who brought their family to Christian Co., Kentucky about 1818. I have endeavored to find all deeds involving them from the establishment of Caldwell Co. on 1 May 1809, but a few may have been missed.
