Created in 1777 from Fincastle County, which originally covered all of western Virginia including Kentucky, Montgomery has been very important in the development of region. You will note that these deed records start before the creation of the county which means settlers had been coming into the region very early and staking claims to lands. Each of the abstractions of the deeds give the names of the parties, dates, neighbors, witnesses and signature. In many cases, when the party/parties could not read and write, they made their mark and we have duplicated those marks as best as we could.
