Just for general information, the following is a partial index of records in the "old school" in Rutledge. My attempts to gain access to these records dates back prior to 1993, before they were moved and many thrown away. The list was compiled, apparently, by the named person and I found it at the URL mentioned. The following is taken from the "Grainger Co TN" section of my http://www.public.usit.net/billiam Select "grainger co tn" Click on "list" at bottom of page.--Bill AT LEAST 25 YEARS AGO, I MADE A PARTIAL LIST OF MATERIAL I FOUND IN THE GRAINGER CO TN COURT HOUSE WHILE DOING RESEARCH THERE.
