Bledsoe County, Tennessee Chancery Court Minute Book, 1836-1847, Volume II (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780788490651)

Bledsoe County, Tennessee, located at the upper end of the Sequatchie Valley, was created by an Act of the Legislature on November 30, 1807 and named in honor of Abraham Bledsoe, an early explorer in Tennessee and father of Anthony Bledsoe, one of Tennessee's early legislators. This volume of the Chancery Court is a summary of the various cases that came before the court and gives some of the details, but not all. This will whet one's appetite for more that may or may not be found.

"The WPA Records are, for the most part, carbon copies of the original that was typed on onion skin paper during the Depression. Since these records were typed on poor machines by people who did not type well either or read by persons not always sure of the older handwritten material, the results are often less than perfect. ... Sometimes there are water stains and burned edges around the paper."
