Caldwell County DeedsCaldwell County DeedsThis page created 19 Jul 2010
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.

Notes:
I have copies of each of the pages extracted above. Please contact me for clarification or copies, using the link below.
The original records are handwritten, in some cases faded, and some films of poor quality. Errors no doubt were made.
In the property descriptions, I have include acreage where shown, water course, and adjacent property owners. I have not included the full "meets and bounds," which exists in most of the deeds.
I have attempted to use a consistent format for the information, which does not exist in the original.
