Harnett County Deed Abstracts (USGenWeb / film verify)

Harnett County hub

Structured finding-aid rows from published USGenWeb Archives Harnett deed files. Harnett (formed 1855 from Cumberland) suffered back-to-back 1890s courthouse fires (1892, 1894)—treat late-19th-century deed continuity as unproven until verified book-by-book.

USGenWeb has fewer Harnett deed files than Anson; expand this table as more volunteer abstracts appear. Pre-1855 events are Cumberland research. Verify at Harnett ROD (post-1973 online index; earlier = old index books / Archives film).

Citation: USGenWeb Archives — Harnett County deed volunteer files; Harnett ROD / State Archives microfilm. 1892 & 1894 fires—verify series survival.
