Caldwell County Deeds

This page updated 25 Feb 2019

All Others

The records below focus on deeds involving members of the Cobb family and their associates, excluding those found in other sections. I have endeavored to find all deeds involving the Cobb family from the establishment of Caldwell Co. on 1 May 1809 through 1856, but a few may have been missed. For other persons below those deeds included are by no means exhaustive.

All parties were shown as "of" Eddyville and/or Caldwell Co. unless stated otherwise below.
