The original freeholders books form part of the Devon Quarter Sessions records held in the Devon Heritage Centre, reference QS7. They are closely related to the original constables' returns, which are filed separately at QS5. The following is a full listing of surviving freeholders volumes. Those marked * in the left hand column are included in the transcripts published on this website. Those marked "n.d." are undated, with decades given as stated in Record Office catalogues. The books are all similar in format, with the exception of QS/64, which gives trades, ages and other information not contained in any other volume in the series.
The Devon Genuki website contains transcripts of those freeholders books up to 1780 that have not been included here.
