The volume contains only certificates of citizenship. Each form gives the date, applicant's name, former country and kingdom, and current town and county of residence. A standardized summary of the procedures assured that the necessary evidence was provided and the required oaths taken. The judge then signed, attesting to the applicant's admission as a citizen. The volume has only 5 pages of entries, but does include an applicant from Sevier County.
Entries are chronological.
Citizenship records of county residents created during this time might be located in other series. Between 1895 and 1906 residents could have filed in any county, so all certificates of citizenship for Wayne County residents whose declaration of intention are in this series may not be found in this series. Consult the series catalog for specific series in other counties. Prior to 1896 citizenship records of county residents could be in the records of any of the district courts, the Supreme Court, or the Wayne County Probate court. Since Wayne County was in the Second District from 1892 to 1895 series created by that court would be most likely to contain citizenship records of Wayne County residents.
