Probate Court,Land certificates (Parowan),1872-1879.,Chronological by date.,"The federal government and the territorial legislature designated county probate courts to act as intermediaries in the transfer of surveyed town site lots from the public domain to private ownership. As the Iron County Probate Court proceeded to follow this direction\, it issued land certificates to individuals judged to be the rightful owners of lots in Parowan. These certificates authorized the county recorder to record a deed transferring ownership of the lot from the mayor to the individual owner. Each certificate is headed with information about the probate court and is addressed to the mayor of Parowan. It certifies that a certain individual was on a certain date judged by the court to be the rightful owner of a certain town lot and was entitled to a deed for the same. Certificates were signed by the probate court clerk. Each certificate also indicates the date a deed was recorded.",,Public,2 microfilm reels
