If I may make a suggestion. I am working on a murder committed in Cannon Co. by Wilson Co residents. The boys were convicted of 1st degree murder. I contacted: Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 7th Avenue North Nashville, TN 37243-0312 I do not have the email address (can't find it) on hand but I have done extensive emailing back and forth with them and they came up with a ton of information for me! I was able to get the convict record and this week a cousin stopped by the Archives and got the 298 page manuscript on the supreme court ruling on the trial. If the 'questioner' knows the county they can access the county records by calling the court house on the phone and find out if the trial can be located. Also try newspapers of the era and of course the TN State Library and Archives may be your final destination. There will be foot work but after hours of work I have hit pay dirt. My family finally has the full story - there were rumors for so many years and it is nice to lay out the facts at last. Good luck.
