Seeking death certificates of George & Charlotte Clodfelter

Cavalyn Stowers Mar 27, 2020 9:14 AM

I wrote to the counties where my great great-grandparents died and was told due to the year of death, they do not have any records that far back and was told to contact the Archives for help Here is information I have:

George Able Clodfelter/Clotfelter -- Born 23 October 1815 in Lincoln, North Carolina and Died 06 March 1886 in Jackson, Georgia
Charlotte * Lottie* Keen -- Bon 22 February 1816 in Johnston, North Carolina and Died 11 November 1878 in Cherokee, Georgia

I am looking for their burial site and figure the death certificate would have it listed. Can you help me and cost of the certificate? Thank You

Dear Ms. Stowers,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

The Federal Government does not ordinarily create or maintain death records. Such records are made and kept by State and local governments rather than the National Archives. Statewide registration of deaths in Georgia did not begin until 1919. Certain counties maintained records prior to that. These records are still with the counties. Please see the following for more information: https://www.georgiaarchives.org/research/death_records

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!

Hi Cavalyn,
Sorry I did not find any death certificates but did find
a Clodfelter/Clotfelter family tree at www.familysearch.org
