Hi, I'm assuming that the County Courthouse in Woodbury has good genealogical resources for Cannon County, but are there any libraries in the area with similar resources? I plan on making a trip from Kentucky in May and would appreciate any local tips or advice on this question. Thanks! Brian Downing __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes Brian there is a local library with a Genealogy room. It's not a very large room, but big enough to store what's needed. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Downing [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, April 16, 2006 9:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [TNCANNON] Libraries in Cannon County?

In addition to the Adams Library, in Woodbury, The Manchester library in Coffee Co., about 30 miles S. of Woodbury, has a pretty good Cannon collection, also. Lots of people, especially in southern Cannon and northern Coffee kinda drifted back and forth across the not well defined line. The library is open 9 to 5 daily. Open late (9:00 PM) Monday. Tuesday & Thursday. Closed on Sunday. The Coffee Co. Historical Society room in the Court House is open Mondays 9 to 1 PM. Other times, by appointment. The Linebaugh library in Murfreesboro (20 Miles west of Woodbury) also has an excellent research room, with lots of Cannon Co. info.. Not sure of hours but I'm sure at least 9-5 and some nights. Both have an excellent microfilm collection, film readers & printers. Both towns are located along Interstate 24 and have an excellent selection of motels and restaurants. McMinnville (20 miles east of Woodbury, in Warren Co.) also HAD an very good Cannon collection and research room, but they have recently moved. Maybe Ladye Jane can fill us in on Warren Co., today. Keep in mind, that Cannon was formed in 1836. Roughly half the area came from Rutherford and half from Warren. Many records and families have records and histories that extend into these counties. DeKalb Co. was formed a few years later, partially from Cannon Co. Some families and records, of course, extend into that area, also. There was also some line shifting between Cannon & Wilson Co., up in the Auburn (later Auburntown) area. There is a small >> 1834 << map of the area, near the top of the Cannon Co. page at.... http://www.tngenweb.org/cannon/ also, a rough map showing Civil Districts in Cannon Co., the surrounding counties and how they join up at the county lines, is at.... http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/cannon/districts.htm Jess Lewis

Brian, Good luck in you research. Check with the Tennessee State Archives. They have public records from every county in Tennessee. Helen L.
