This volume contains a complete transcription of the records in a court register entitled the Surviving Docket , so named because it is the only register of probate records for Lowndes County prior to 1869 which was not destroyed by fire. The records are currently housed in the Office of the Clerk of the Court of Ordinary at the Lowndes County Courthouse in Valdosta, Georgia. The Surviving Docket consists primarily of estate inventories, sales, returns, guardianship papers, or distributions to heirs which were recorded at the courthouse from July 1847 through January 1852. While most of the documents are contemporary to that time period, some of the returns date back to estate settlements in the 1820s.
