Issaquena Genealogy and History Project: County Cattle Brand Mark Registrants
During the 19th Century and early 20th Century, many farmers let their cattle graze in unfenced areas. Branding was used to identify the owners of the cattle. The State of Mississippi passed livestock laws which included a system of registering brand marks at the county courthouse. As in many Mississippi counties, Issaquena County's brand mark registrations were housed in the Circuit Court Clerk's office. In some counties, they may have been housed in the Chancery Court Clerk's office. Below are links to the various brand mark registrations located in the Issaquena County Courthouse in Mayersville.
