"Where your Journey Begins" 

Baldwin County Georgia

Baldwin County was formed in 1803 from Hancock, and Milledgeville made the County Seat.
The Court House was burned in 1861 and all the early deeds were destroyed, but the old wills were saved and they are now well cared for in a good fireproof vault.
They are recorded in two books “1806 to 1819” and “1819 to 1864.” These are well indexed and in neat condition.
