Mr. Johnny Hayward Phone: (662) 226-1821

Mr. Hayward has preserved many of the old records by purchasing a laminating machine for the old books and rebinding them so they should be around a bit longer!

Below is a partial list of records available:

  button Land Patents from 1833. Because Grenada County was not actually formed until 1870,
    the early records are not complete. You will need to check the surrounding counties
    of Carroll, Choctaw, Tallahatchie, and Yalobusha from which Grenada was formed.
  button Deed Books - Book 1 starts July 7, 1834. This is one of the books that has been laminted
    and rebound.
  button Grenada Sentinal later renamed to Daily Star
  button Grenada Press
  button Grenada County Weekly
