There are seven of these same size file trays in the Chancery Clerk's Office, Clarke County, MS Courthouse. Below is listed a summary of the contents of Tray #1. Some files listed below may contain one document; others have 10 or more; a few have a very large number. Most of the documents in the files below are from the mid 1860's to early 1890's; a few are into the early 1900's. I have scanned a few and uploaded images to this site.
