Notes
  • The first permanent settlers in Utah Valley were Mormon pioneers sent south by Brigham Young in approximately 1849. On January 28, 1850, Utah County was established by the territorial legislature, with Provo serving as the county seat. For the next two years, county record-keeping was inconsistent as there were no permanent officials. However, in early 1852 the territorial legislature appointed certain --œselectmen-- including a probate judge, clerk, recorder, sheriff, and treasurer. The deeds of consecration recorded in Utah County begin in 1855 and primarily mention land and property rather than cash contributions. The LDS Church--s practice of consecration involved members donating all their property to the church and receiving an --œinheritance-- from the common treasury, based on their personal and family needs. The Records of Utah County, 1851-1864 includes one archival series: Record Books, 1851-1864.
