Oldest Deed in Clermont County Ties to 1791 Record
A Courier report uncovers Clermont County's oldest recorded deed dated July 9 1791 in the Anderson family chain of title. The indenture transfers 454 acres in Pierce township from Richard Clough Anderson and Elizabeth to John Woods for 100 pounds. The document marks early Virginia military warrants and the first county record in the post colonial era. The deed connects to General Robert C Anderson, father of Fort Sumter defender Major Robert Anderson and Ohio lieutenant governor Charles Anderson.
