Evelyn, There are several records accessible through the Grainger County GenWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tngraing/ The records are at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tngraing/research.htm Surname indices to the 1830, 1840, and 1850 census are available here at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tngraing/census.htm And also throught the USGENWEB Archives at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/grainger.htm There is a published 1860 Grainger Co. census book but I don't think it is still available for purchase. Byron Sistler and Associates have published several Tennessee census indexes 1830-1880, including Grainger County for 1840 and 1880. For other counties try the USGENWEB archives which you can get to from the Grainger County site above. Also try Cyndi's List. Hope this helps.
