MACON COUNTY
MARKS & BRANDS
1837-1855

The "Marks & Brands" Book is one of the oldest in the courthouse at Macon, MO., as it dates back to 1837 when the county was formed. In that day property was not fenced and it was necessary to have a way of identifying cattle from that of neighbors. The fact that a man recorded his brand in the county would seem to indicate that he was the owner of at least several head of cattle and was a permanent resident of the county. Here are the records from the beginning in 1837 through 1855
Daniel C. Hubbard, Clerk
(date is when the brand was recorded.
Overview of Cattle Branding
A family's name and property were known by their brand. We will suppose a man to be just commencing in the stock business; after having purchased enough land to give him a footing whereon to build the above houses and corrals with sufficient water and timber for his purposes, he then decides what his "ranchbrand" and ear marks shall be, and whatever device or letter or figure he selects, he is careful to have it differ from all other brands and marks in that portion of the State. Then he goes before an officer of the county or district and places upon record his brand and ear marks, filing a copy thereof, also a statement of the number of cattle and horses he has at that time bearing that brand and marks, taking from the Recorder a certificate of his action, from thenceforward alll stock found bearing that brand and oar marks are his, and by him can be taken possession of by summary process, wherever found in the State.
