As you may already know, these minutes are available to the public. I have photographed and indexed the first book of minutes existing at the Pike County Clerk's office.  As time permits, I will continue with the next books in order.  I truly hope you will find these helpful in your research.

The townships of this part of Missouri were once divided into four great divisions (when Pike County was still part of the Louisiana Purchase), known as Cape Girardeau, Sainte Genevieve, Saint Louis and Saint Charles. Once Pike County was established in 1818, it contained four of its own townships: Buffalo, Calumet, Mason and Peno. Today there are 10 townships within Pike County, legally designated as Ashley, Buffalo, Calumet, Cuivre, Hartford, Indian, Peno, Prairieville, Salt River and Spencer.
