There was a fire in the late 1800's that took the Ossipee Registery and Courthouse along with the vast majority of written records like deeds, maps, etc. If you want to research a really early deed you can go to Strafford County which was what Carroll County used prior to having their own buildings. So you can search real early stuff or anything post 1880's but not too much from the mid to late 1800's because that was what was lost.

This fire is what makes the large Carroll County Maps more valuable then the other county maps because so many were lost in the county fire.
