Portée et contenu
Series forms part of the Nova Scotia Registry of Deeds fonds and consists of land transaction registers recording the sale or transfer of land between grantor and grantee, mortgage assignments and releases, quit claims deeds and many other types of records relating to land transactions. The earliest land transactions for Kings County were registered at Cornwallis (1764-1843), Horton (1766-1843) and Aylesford (1820-1843). After 1843 all land transactions for Kings County were registered at Cornwallis (Kentville).
Series also includes: a Cornwallis Township Proprietor's Lot Boundaries Register (1762-ca.1812); Canadian Farm Loan Board registers (1937-1967); The Dominion Building and Loan Association, Kentville, Mortgage Register (1897-1898); two Wills Registers (1918-1954) recording wills that affected deeded land or mortgages; Judgment Books 1 to 9 (1880-1968) recording County and Supreme Court judgments that affected deeded land or mortgages; and two Land Grants registers (1854-1935), which provided a local copy of the land grants also recorded at the Crown Lands office.
