By: Thomas E. Partlow, Index, Pub. 2006, 228 pages, ISBN# 978-0-89308-832-3 This Middle Tennessee County was formed in 1837 out of parts of Cannon, Jackson, Warren, and Wilson counties. This book contains abstracts of the deeds starting at the creation of the county and continuing all the way through 1885. Deeds are one of favorite research tools of the genealogists due to the wide variety of family connections found within them. Not only will the reader find the deed transaction itself, but often times such things as: marriages, relinquishments of dower, divisions of family farms among heirs, remarriages of widows are just a few of the matters you can anticipate finding within records of deeds.
