    1. Re: [MAFRANKL] Land Deeds - Warwick, MA?
    2. Jillaine, > Does anyone know where one would find land deeds from Warwick from about > 1778? > > You will find deeds from about 1787 to present at the Hampshire County Courthouse at Northfield, as Warwick was part of Hampshire County until Franklin was formed about 1812. Deeds with earlier dates are housed at Springfield, i .e. Hampden County Courthouse.      However, the Franklin Co. Courthouse, in Greenfield, does have abstracts of deeds from 1663-1786. As I recall, at least one piece of information not included in the abstracts are the names of witnesses - often important clues.      If you don't find what you are looking for, you might also consider Worcester Co, particularly if the individual(s) you are reseaching came from a town in Worcester Co.         Joan A.
