Index: Each volume is individually indexed.
Note: Both Archer and Wichita Counties were created in 1858 but not organized until 1880 and 1882 respectively. Land transactions were recorded in Clay County from 1873. Since both counties were created from counties organized much earlier, many deeds date from the 1840s and 1850s. Some Clay County deeds can also be found in this record.
