Hughes County covers a large area so at times there were satellite courts and records were recorded in towns other than the county seat. There are probate case files from Gerty and from Dustin. The files from Dustin cover 1906-1910 and are included at the beginning of the records. The files from Gerty, which cover 1906-1913, are listed next. The arrangement of these records can be confusing. Some files were not available when the filming started...

These records can be used to index land and property records such as deeds and mortgages from Hughes County. They are arranged by the legal description of the land, not by the name of the owner of the property. The years of they cover are estimated.

Some files with confidential information were not filmed. A few files were filmed out of numerical order.

The index to this volume explains that the cemeteries in this volume are not exclusive to the town of Graham though they are exclusive to Hughes Township.
