USGenWeb

This listing of property owners of Jefferson County comes from the information transcribed by Dorothy Rathbun from an 1871 Jefferson County map provided by Janet Roberts.  A notebook with an Atlas of these maps showing these individuals has been prepared by and is available from the Jefferson County Genealogical Society.  Scanned pictures of these maps can also be reached on this site.

Names of the owners are listed alphabetically showing the township and the section in the township in which the property was located.
