"Where your Journey Begins"

Tattnall County, Georgia



    Tatnall County was formed in 1801, and has fine new Court House at Reidsville, but the old records are very scarce.
    In the ordinary’s office no wills could be found previous to 1863, and the first book of marriage records begins 1832. 
These are not indexed and are in several small books of about 100 pages each.
There are several old books of Inferior Court records, that contain administrations and accounts of estates, that are in bad condition and should be copied. 
A few wills are scattered through the early books of deeds, but are not indexed with them.
    The Clerk of the Court has a lady now employed in copying all deeds with a book-typewriter, and those records bid fair to be in good shape eventually.

First Book of Inferior Court Records.
March Term of Court 1805. Held at Ohoopee Saw Mills.
