Columbia County, Georgia History
Will Index

Columbia county, formed from Richmond in 1790, has an old brick Court House at Appling that seems to be the twin of the one at Lincolnton. The records are in pretty good condition, some of the oldest writing being remarkably fine. The first book of Wills, 1790 to 180-1, begins with page 19, the fmnt being lost. It contains over 200 pages and is not indexed, but all later books are indexed in each volume. The marriage records begin 1806 and are not indexed previous to 1812.

The old deed books are well preserved and have an index in each volume.
