Gilpin District Court
Appointments and Oaths
1861-1882

Image of Colorado Counties with Gilpin County highlighted.

This small group of records represent those of a very early period in Colorado's history that recorded specific actions rendered by the territorial and district court of Gilpin County for the years 1861 - 1882. Names appearing on this index most likely include some of the early gold seekers that came west in search of fortune and fame.

An earnest effort was made to transcribe each name correctly. However, some of the handwritten entries were hard to read, making it difficult to ensure that the spelling of the name is accurate. Please check similar or closely spelled names, this may help you in your search. The information contained in the record generally shows the name of the plaintiff and defendant, date of filing, case number, the charge or claim of the plaintiff and supporting documents submitted to the court on behalf of both parties.

If you find a name on this list, and you would like a copy of that person's chancery case, please contact us. We will respond to mail, e-mail (please include your post office address in the e-mail), and phone requests. We do have search, handling and copy fees. Please contact us in order to find out the charges for your request.
