Washington County, NC

Index to Deeds 1799-1924

Ambrose

This index is found in the Washington Co Courthouse in Plymouth, NC. The index at the courthouse is listed in Deed book number order. I have transcribed the listings for the Davenports and then sorted them into alpha / date order since there are so many entries.

The Washington Co NC courthouse burned in 1862, 1869 and 1873 but the deed records were not damaged. Other records prior to 1873 are hit and miss. If you are interested in other types of records contact the courthouse for information.

Copies of these deeds may be ordered from: Register of Deed, Washington County Courthouse, 120 Adams St, Plymouth, NC 27962-1308: 919-793-5823

Cost is 50 cents a page for copies (most deeds are 2 pages long) - please include a self-addressed, stamped, business size (#10) envelope. If you order more than 3 deeds don't send a self-addressed envelope. Send $1.00 to cover postage and a larger envelope.

Lots of the old deeds used initials rather than names. Initials are found at the top of each letter.
