Bibb County was created in 1822 from Jones, Monroe, Houston and Twiggs counties. It is located in the center of the state with city of Macon being the county seat. The Superior Courts kept records of divorce, civil and criminal cases, naturalization, military discharges, homesteads, grand juries, registration of land deeds and prisons. Occasionally, superior courts (as well as inferior courts), kept records pertaining to slaves. Depending on the case, both jurisdictions should be checked for information about slaves and their owners.
