Lincoln County records open with 1819 county organization notes
In Lincoln County the county clerk John Hyland opens the first book on April 5 1819, recording appointments of Judge David Todd and sheriff David Bailey. The court divides the county into four townships Monroe Bedford Litton and Hurricane and sets election sites with appointed judges. Bonds, jail and tax rules are logged along with a road layout and tavern licenses. The text recalls Hammond and Boott as political figures and outlines early county costs and sessions, with notes on local taverns, roads, and governance.
