What the source supports
That the nomination points to a county court record series bearing on the earliest houses in Josephine City.
Uncertainty
The nomination's words as quoted in this project's notes on it, which do not record the page. The series itself has not been read: nothing here says what any lien records, how many there are, or whether the liens name Josephine City residents or builders, and the nomination's description is not a finding about them. Where the series is held is not established here.
