The Wayne County, Tennessee History and Genealogy Page is pleased to
announce that the complete transcription of the first existing volume of
County Court Minutes for Wayne County, Tennessee (from Sept 1848 to June
1854) is now on-line at
http://www.netease.net/wayne/countycourt.htm
The publication consists of the 469 pages of this first surviving minute
book and is full of administrative appointments, guardianship reports,
estate settlements, petitions for the sale of land and slaves, road overseer
appointments and many other county government related activities.
This is as complete a transcription (not an abstract) as I could make from
the original book. Only certain standard bonds for county officials were not
transcribed completely since they merely repeat the same wording as the
first ones transcribed.
There is no "index" for the volume, but it is included in the main page
search engine.
Very special thanks to Barbara W. Wallace and Pat Foster for doing the input
from the transcriptions in the first five volumes of the "The Wayne County
HIstorian". These were not available on computer as were the installments
from Volumes 6, 7 & 8.
Happy Hunting
