The Entry Taker’s Book is one of the few pieces of Hamilton County records that survived the destruction of the Civil War. This with the various Deed Books are all the records that did survive. The rest of the vital records were destroyed during the 1863-1864 time period when battles raged all over the area of Hamilton County. This full text volume gives the land transactions during this time period. It does not record everything as do the deeds, but the records are there.
Example from this volume:
