I have posted a short introduction to using the records of the Second Surveyor's District of middle Tennessee in research. The 9,091 surveys and accompanying plats in these records cover the period from 1807 until 1831 and are a valuable history research resource that is often overlooked. The introduction includes example images of record contents as well as an example of the data that can be found in the index (for the name "Michael Fisher") plus a transcription and page image of a typical survey (Book H, Page 251, Survey number 6035 made for Michael Fisher). You can find the introduction at: http://www.gscassociates.com/Second_District.html The Second Surveyor's District included all (or almost all) of the present-day counties of Bedford, Coffee, Franklin, Lincoln, Marshall, and Moore, as well as parts of the present-day counties of Cannon, Giles, Grundy, Marion, Maury, Rutherford, Warren, and Williamson. You can find these records at TSLA as part of series number 11 (Other Land Records), Record Group 50 (Early Land Records). The records also include a corresponding entry for each survey, but these entries generally contain less information than the corresponding surveys.

This area would also be referred to as Civil District #10 on Census Records. I am trying to locate the grave of B. F. (Frank) White, who lived in Giles/Lincoln Co. area from 1840 to his death, which I have narrowed down to between 1897-1900. Maybe there was a family cemetery with other graves - Frank's wife, Martha Ann Clark, d. 1879; children: Elizabeth, d. 1839; Buddy d. 1852; Thomas d. 1862; Manda Irene White Hardison d. 1895.
