Heard County was established in 1830 from parts of Carroll, Coweta and Troup Counties.\u00a0 There have been three courthouse fires destroying all records.\u00a0 The year 1894 marks the beginning of the only available records.\u00a0 After that date, many land owners brought their deeds to the courthouse to be recorded to assure a more permanent registry of their property, with some as far back as 1840. Much family history can be gleaned from this publication, names of neighbors, location of various settlements, the rivers and streams supplying water to the area and much more. <\/span>
