This volume contains three more Libers done by Brice Selby, Clerk of Montgomery County Court. Libers BS1 [Feb 1827-Sep. 1828] & BS2 [Sept 1828-Feb. 1830], cover deeds, mortgages, bills of sale, naturalization requests, manumissions, imported slaves and anything else ordered to be recorded or paid for recording in that period. Unusual items such as the description of 33 school districts, can be found indexed under Acts at the beginning of this volumes index. For more guidance on using this volume index, read the explanation at the beginning of the index.
In these abstracts you may find interesting aspects of your ancestors' lives. Entries generally contain the full name of the person recording the item and the date, the full name(s) of the seller(s) and the purchaser(s) involved in the sale, the sold amount, and a description of the item sold. Descriptions for land typically include location and number of acres. Descriptions for property typically include a list of items sold. Descriptions for slaves typically include the name and age of the slave. Entries offer varying amounts of additional information as available. The deed books contain many non-land items, including information about slave sales and manumissions, as well as mortgages of both real and personal (chattel) property. Occasionally, other documents are also recorded, such as bills of sale, which often contain the names of family members.
Volume BS3 is limited to inquisitions determining value of lands taken by the C&O Canal Company for construction of the canal, and consists of land descriptions, jury panel decisions, and plats dated between 1829 and 1837, with one inquisition done in 1854.
Several facsimile reprints of original plats, an index to "Some of the More Unusual Records in these three volumes," a full-name index, an index to African Descendants, an index to Institutions and Place Names, plus indexes to Town Lots and Tract Names add to the value of this work.
