Tennessee Genealogical Records. Records of Early Settlers from State and County Archives

This work offers important source data and is a major advance in Tennessee genealogical reference material. From records in the State Archives in Nashville and from over twenty county courthouses the record abstracts relate to over 18000 early Tennessee settlers. There are Revolutionary warrants grants and certificates of survey will abstracts tombstone inscriptions deed abstracts marriages--including the valuable Sumner County marriages 1791-1813--and court orders and petitions. Many of these came from the counties of Bedford Bledsoe Carter Davidson Dyer Franklin Hawkins Henry Jackson Jefferson Maury Montgomery Overton Smith Stewart Sullivan Sumner Washington White Williamson and Wilson. There also are genealogical notes on some two dozen families.
