Scope and Contents

Includes nine bound record books spanning the years 1851-1864. They record deeds of transfer, land survey certificates, deeds of consecration, and transfer records of enslaved people. Most of the records were kept by Lucius N. Scovil, the county recorder of Utah County, but some were also kept by Dominicus Carter, Isaac Higbee, and Howard Coray. The deeds of consecration recorded in Utah County begin in 1855 and primarily mention land and property rather than cash contributions.
