27438,Iron County (Utah). Probate Court,Probate record book,1868-1870.,Chronological.,"Probate record books contain the details of proceedings in estate and guardianship cases.

The county probate court was responsible for the proceedings of these cases until statehood (1896)\, at which time the probate court was dissolved and the district court assumed the responsibility.",,Public,
23642,Iron County (Utah). 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

17477,Iron County (Utah). Probate Court,Minutes,1853-1870.,Chronological by date.,"In 1852 the Territorial Legislature defined the powers of county probate courts. In addition to traditional jurisdiction in the probate of wills\, the administration of estates of deceased persons\, the guardianship of minors\, idiots\, and insane persons\, the Legislature gave Utah probate courts power to exercise original jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases (Laws of Utah\, Chapter 42\, 1852). The minutes of the Iron County Court describe the proceedings of that court and the cases it heard. They tell when the court met and adjourned\, name the judge and indicate action taken or judgments made. The Iron County Probate Court handled criminal cases\, probate\, divorces\, naturalization\, and other civil matters. In 1869 the Territorial Legislature directed county probate courts to adjudicate ownership of town site lots in surveyed towns on the public domain. Iron County Probate Court minutes end in 1868 and therefore do not include land records.",,Public,0.50 cubic foot 2 microfilm reels
