Anson County Deed Abstracts (USGenWeb Archives)

Anson County hub

Structured finding-aid rows from published USGenWeb Archives volunteer deed files for Anson County (1868 courthouse fire / Pee Dee parent). Each row is a real instrument from a public volunteer abstract—grantor, grantee, date, watercourse, book/page when the file states it—not a demo schema and not a full legal abstract.

Verify every book/page on State Archives of North Carolina microfilm or the original volume before citing as evidence. Pre-1868 survival is uneven; daughter counties and SC-border FAN clubs often hold related land trails.

Source index: USGenWeb Anson deeds.

Citation: USGenWeb Archives — Anson County deed volunteer files; State Archives of North Carolina Anson deeds microfilm. Verify book/page on film or original.
