This transcription of various records from Washington County, Arkansas, includes "articles of incorporation of religious and fraternal organizations; apprenticeships; deeds of gift; promissory notes; slave sales and manumissions; appointments of deputy sheriffs; family birth records; and registries of local millers and the mills where they worked." No records are available between October 1861 and March 1865 as a result of the devastating effect of the Civil War on Washington County. Genealogical researchers will find the book invaluable for obtaining a more detailed history of their ancestors in records that may not be found elsewhere. Included in the book is a surname index to the transcribed records. The author is a Certified Genealogical Record Specialist, specializing in Arkansas and Texas records.
