The Brantley Association of America has undertaken an
incredible project- digitizing the early court records of Southampton County,
with the support of Richard L. "Rick" Francis,
Clerk of the Southampton Circuit Court,
and the Southampton County Historical Society.
The project is nearing completion. For more information, and to view the images & indices,

Southampton Project website.
To obtain certified copies of any of the records held by the Southampton County Circuit Court,
send your specific, written request along with a sufficiently* stamped,
self-addressed envelope to:

The cost of copies is 50¢ per page, plus $2.00 per document to be certified by the Clerk.

Copies are generally made on 11"x17"* paper, but can be reduced if requested and if the text
material is not lost in the process (Clerk's call).
*Ledger-size sheets (11"x17") are the equivalent of two (2) standard, letter-size sheets,
