Early Terry County Birth Records

Transcribed and Compiled by Shirley & James Webb
from Terry County Courthouse Records

The records below appear in Book #1 of the Terry County Birth Records at the Terry County Courthouse
in Brownfield, Texas. The first birth recorded was on June 15, 1904. Many of these first listings had no name
for the child – just the gender was listed. If a corrected record was attached, we used that information.

Names are shown as they appeared on the birth record. We have not attempted to correct spelling of names but
will be glad to hear from family members who have knowledge of what is accurate. Write the
Terry County TXGenWeb Coordinator with that information (see note at the end of this page).
(However, this will not correct the name on the courthouse birth records. For information on how an official
correction can be made, contact the Terry County Clerk - see note at the end of this page.)
