Parker County lies just west of Ft. Worth in north central Texas in
an area that was first settled in the 1840's. Parker County was
created in 1855 from parts of Milam, Robertson, and Denton Land
Districts. The Surveyors of each of those land districts made
copies of all the surveys in their offices that pertained to lands
that were in the new county and sent them to the Parker County
Surveyor who maintained the records from that point forward. The
present volume contains abstracts of these and subsequent surveys,
which take on special importance because of an early morning fire
which swept through the county court house on May 13th, 1874
destroying all the deed, probate, and other court records of the
previous nineteen years. Fortunately, a deputy surveyor was
sleeping in the building at the time, and was able to rescue the
survey records and escape the blaze. This important volume contains
a brief historical introduction, a very welcome explanation of the
many types of Texas land grants which were made, and detailed
genealogical abstracts of the following survey records pertaining
to Parker County: Milam Land District, 1850-1857; Robertson Land
District, 1852-1853; Denton Land District, 1854-1855; Denton Land
District, Record Book B, 1855; Denton Land District, 1854-1857;
Denton Land District Index Records, A, C, D; Parker County Record
Book B, 1856-1858; Parker County Record Book C, 1856-1858; and,
Parker County Record Book D, 1857. Also included is a transcription
of the petition of residents requesting the creation of Parker
County, a copy of the legislative act creating the county, several
maps, and a complete full-name index.
