1871-1919: The extinct James created in 1871 went bankrupt and was merged back into Hamilton county in 1919 along with its courthouse records. However, James County Courthouse fires in 1890 and 1913 caused extensive record loss. The surviving James County records are now housed in Hamilton County.[7]
1910: Hamilton County Courthouse burned and many records were damaged.[8] Antebellum Will books are lost.

  • Lost censuses: 1820
  • Lost marriages: 1819 to 1856
  • Lost probate: 1819 to 1861

For suggestions about research in places that suffered historic record losses, see:
