In the 1836 tax list of Bedford County, TN, there were LaRues in District 19, the SW corner of Bedford County and District 16, which shared a border with District 19 and became the SE corner of Marshall County in the fall of 1836.  > My ancestors, Isaac, Jr and Bethiah HARDIN (?)

My ancestors, Isaac, Jr and Bethiah HARDIN (?) LaRUE are buried in the Round Hill Cemetery, said to be in Bedford, or Giles county. When I check GNIS I find Round Hill Cemeteries in Bedford, Marshall and Rutherford counties. Of course I would like to know which county the correct cemetery is in. But, I would like a better 'look' at that area between 1818 through about 1835. I am planning to send this query to all of the Tennessee county lists that I recently joined, so I apologize if you get this more than once. I know a few of the people (surnames) that did migrate with, or followed, Philip PHILIPS from Hardin Co. KY and so need to see if I can catch sight of where 'most' of the cluster settled in. I have a probable son, Isaac B LaRUE, wife and son in the 1820 Bedford census but no sign of his mother (his dad, Isaac died in 1818.) His mother inconveniently died before the 1830 census. In addition to the PHILIPS, there may be ALEXANDERs, BROWNs, and HOWARDs. Finding the cluster would be a big help in proving some other 'traditional' data handed down, without documention, from cousins now gone on. Thank you JoAnn ka7suz@concentric.net if you prefer to answer off list.

After 1834 (and it is after that date that most surviving Bedford TN court records start) this page says: "Circuit Court: (Heard cases of LAW -- where laws had been broken and guilt or innocence was to be decided.) Civil Cases include debt, divorce, assault. State/Criminal Cases include theft, gambling, fighting, murder, bastardy." Yes, I have seen records of the proceedings of bastardy cases in Bedford TN Circuit Court records, but most of my research in these records has been for time periods up to 1870. As far as I know, Bedford County did not have separate Bastardy Bond records. Again, at TSLA there is an inventory of all Bedford County, TN records that are on microfilm. You can find it on this link: http://www.tennessee.gov/tsla/preservation/countymicro/bedf.pdf I do not see any separate Bastardy Bond records in that list. In my experience, the posting of bonds of this sort was noted in various court records, as were all of the early administrator, executor, and guardian bonds. If you e-mail me directly (carson@gscassociates.com) with more details of the time frame and names you are looking for, I can give you some more specific advice on which records to search.

According to a post of the Bedford TN list in October 2006: "The archives ... are only open WEDNESDAY 8 AM to 12 NOON." 3) I have done most of my Bedford County research at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. This website has directions and hours: http://www.tennessee.gov/tsla/ They have virtually all the early county records on microfilm along with various indices, plus they have a very helpful staff and a large collection of history and genealogy books and hard copy files containing contributed materials (such as bible records).

I have to agree but I also have to say that Lincoln Co TN list is great also. I could not believe the volume of replies that I got to my request for help with my Scott line. I am finally completing what I bought my first computer to do. I am putting all of my information into my FTM even though I realize it is an old version. In doing so I am finding more and more questions that need answers, doubting some things that I have so I must get help with that, but also finding many more things that I know is correct. I was on one list and was "dressed down" for all to see so I e-mailed the list owner privately. I also got several private e-mails from members telling me not to worry because the list owner was that way at times. Needless to say I later cancelled. The lists that I am members of are great but I have found that Bedford and Lincoln along with Grundy are all three good. I have not requested much from Melissa but she has been great when I did. I would recommend her to anyone needing information because she does a good job.
