Carolyn, I'm ready to tackle my Tennessee Research again. I've gotten discouraged many times due to most of the records being burned across the state. But I'm ready to go again :) My ancestors were in Maury County area prior to 1836 and then I beleave Maury County turned into Marshall County and then into Bedford County as well! ugh...so confusing..... Do these three counties (or one) have a center where research is done and sold to you? Like a library or historical center? If so, would you share the info? Thanks Carolyn! Pam Tillman-Goff
