Hi, This was on my Jackson Co TN list. Here is a real teaser for you: Jan/Feb Term 1851 P424. William LAMBERT & Wife vs James PHARIS et al. William PHARIS departed this life in 1836 leaving property real and personal and one infant child Elizabeth who was married complainant William LAMBERT. James VINSON and James PHARIS the defts were executors of the last will & testament of William PHARIS decd. .. Elizabeth LAMBERT is a minor and sole legatee of said estate .. (another book shows this as on P427) The above is from the book "Jackson Co., TN Chancery Court Minutes 1840-1861", 222 pages softcover, indexed by given names, $22.00 postpaid from author Betty Huff Bryant, 1100-B Mission Ridge, Austin, TX 78704.
