    2. Kenneth E. Gilkey
    3. F Y I A REALLY BIG THANK YOU to all those involved in the sorting, filing and indexing of the the old circuit court records of Caldwell County. Those involved were Ruth Nichols, Emma Lou (Coleman) Tabor, and others. Also, Glenn Martin, the man who stayed practially every day for a year and volunteered a lot of quality time to this project!! Glenn Martin, who is the founder and mainstay of the Railroad Museum in Princeton, has worked extensively on saving the old records of Caldwell County, along with greeting people at the Railroad Museum. A big THANK YOU also must go to Joann Newsom, Caldwell Circuit Court Clerk, for purchasing filing cabinets to hold them. The Circuit Court records are sorted, filed and indexed by year and alphabetically . The are now accesible to the public. You will have to go to the Circuit Court Clerks Office on the East Side of the Court Square in Princeton. The records are in an upstairs room, accessible only by a stairway. These records contain, lawsuits, land grants, divorces, murder trials, etc. I personnally saw one land grant for acreage "between the rivers", dated 1798. Cant remember the details though.
