Hi Marilyn. Lawsuits, such as the one you mention; would be found at the
Jay County Clerk's Office. There are some Index books to those; and they
are a bit difficult to understand. However; they are certainly there and
available to search. once found in a index book; those original cases are
available there.
Marriage Records and Will Books will also be found at the Clerk's Office.
Deed records are located at the Recorder's Office in the Court House. The
Old, original probate records are available at the Jay County
Historical/Genealogical Society. They also have many books of transcribed
records there.
Hope that helps.

Can someone tell me who to contact, or where to go in Jay county, to
search court records from the late 1800's and early 1900's? I understand my
great-great grandfather, Jacob Briggs Heavilin, had some kind of lawsuit
against his contracting business way back, and I would like to know more
about it, in order to fill in some black holes of our understanding of him.
Also, any other records (besides census records, which i already have).
thank you
