Deeds are available at the Administration Building on south Main St. I don't know
what research help is available there for someone mailing in a request.
Court records are still maintained at the Court House. The storage room for all court
records is quite small, and some record books are piled high on top of tall cabinets. I
doubt if much research help is available there. They usually send people to the Morgan
County Public Library, where many records are on microfilm. Check out their website.

Subject: Re: [INMORGAN] George W. Portis Log Cabin
I have not been to Martinsville, however have researched the land and
probate records at the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis and at the
Allen County Library (that was YEARS ago, so I don't know what they have).
You might want to check out the holdings of those libraries, especially if
you have other Indiana research to do.

What is the best source of land records for Morgan County, IN? I would like
to find where my great-grandfather George Portis built his cabin about 1870.
Also I;m searching for information about the house he lived in on High
Street in Brooklyn. Would those land records reside in Martinsville, as the
county seat? Or is there a better place to search for them?
Also, what about recorded wills? George died in Morgan Co. and is buried in
Bethel Cemetery. Would I find records of wills in the courthouse in
Martinsville? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
