> According to the "Report of the Special Committee to Co-operate with the 
> State Library Board," dated July 29, 1929, the Warwick County Clerk's 
> Office was burnt on December 15, 1864. Apparently quoting the county

> December 15, 1864; also all of the files in all cases and causes prior to 
> that time. All other records are intact and are in the files in this 
> office." There is no mention of how the fire started.
