Neighbors in the historic deeds

People named as adjoining owners in our records of the deeds, by surname. Names are as the abstracts give them; two entries may be one person, and one entry may be two.

9,261 names, mentioned 29,481 times as adjoining owners. Choose a letter. Each name lists the deeds that give it as a neighbor and the streams those deeds name, with the number of deeds for each; a name also links to a search of the deeds, which finds it as a party too.

From our records of the deeds. Enslaved people named in a deed are never listed as neighbors.
