Administrative Records 1844-1848

The following is an index to the administrative records for Randolph County covering the years of 1844-1848. This bound volume has been digitized by FamilySearch but they do not provide an index to it from their search. This requires the user to browse the index inside the book in order to know the page they need. The following index will save you this step, and save you time in looking in the event your ancestor is not even listed.

The persons listed in the index died intestate, which basically means they died without a will. Their estate however had real property in the state of Illinois, and specifically Randolph County that needed to be legally protected in order that their heirs would receive what was rightfully theirs. You can access the full index using the following link, but save yourself some time and make sure your ancestor is in the list below. If they are not, then they will not be found within this manuscript. Administrator’s Records 1844-1848
