An abstract of title is the condensed history of title to a particular parcel of real estate, consisting of a summary of the original grant and all subsequent conveyances and encumbrances affecting the property and a certification by the abstractor that the history is complete and accurate.

You can always try E-Bay. Or, contact your local library to check for an historian that may be able to estimate a value for you. I would also try the Library of Congress which can be reached at:
