Records of Early Settlers from State and County Archives , This work offers the researcher an array of important source materials and represents a major advance in Tennessee genealogy. Over 6,000 names are in the index, with some names having as many as fifty reference. All Tennessee counties are covered, each with pertinent genealogical data such as abstracts of wills and deeds, tombstone inscriptions, marriage records, and sketches of early settlers. The most important records include First Court Records of Washington District, the Marriages Records of Greene, Washington, Jefferson and Knox counties, and Revolutionary Soldiers of Roane County.
Additional information includes the exact date of the bond and the name of the bondsman.
Census of the Cumberland Settlements , This work identifies the early inhabitants of the Tennessee Country, something the federal census records fail to do, for the first forty years of settlement in the area are a blank, at least in the official enumerations. This work is a reconstruction of the census of the three Cumberland River counties now in Tennessee. These counties, originally a part of North Carolina, today are all or part of forty Tennessee counties. As new counties were formed and subdivided, the early settlers were caught in changing jurisdiction, so the researcher has had to search in several jurisdictions for ancestral records, even though the ancestor may never have moved. To rectify this problem, the author has divided this work into three sections, one for each of the three counties so as to place the early inhabitants in the actual area settled.
