Mortgages

The records below focus on mortgages involving the following persons. I have endeavored to find all deeds involving them from the establishment of Lyon Co. on 1854 through 1868, for now, but some may have been missed.

Record of some other associates are included, along with mentions of some of the individuals involved in the transactions listed, but those should not be considered complete.
