Sumner County, Tennessee Probate Data 1787-1808 - (Paperback)

About the Book

Extracted information of all probate references found in Sumner County, Tennessee Court Minutes and from the book of Executors, Administrators and Guardians' Bonds and Letters. Dated 1787 to 1808

Book Synopsis

Although Sumner County was created in 1787 and its wills survive from 1788, the first surviving book of inventories, settlements,

and guardian accounts dates only from March 1808. To cover the period of missing records (April 1787-June 1808),

we have extracted all probate references found in the county court minutes of April 1787-March 1805. No court minutes survive

for June 1805-December 1808, except for a volume of daily pleas, which contains no probate data; therefore, the source for that

period has been the book of Executors, Administrators, and Guardians' Bonds and Letters, July 1796-August 1816.
