Still trying to prove that Catherine CARWILE who married Aaron BEAN in Grainger County, TN 22 Feb 1829 was the daughter of William CARWILE and Mary DANIEL. Any help on this will certainly be appreciated. Would like to see original marriage record to see who signed bond or was witness, etc. Bobby G. Carwile Grainger County is not the only place where old records are not preserved. Our local archives had a collection of local Newspapers for the last 80-90 years in leather bound batches of about 3 months each that was kept in a wall file for everyone to browse through. The last time I went to the Archives they were GONE; when I asked about them the Archivist said they had been put on microfilm and the originals had been DESTROYED. I asked why they had not been given to the local library for its historical section and was told that he was told to copy them then destroy them. Now we have a row of Microfilm readers along that wall to read the old papers from microfilm. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS READING FROM THE ORIGINALS!!!!!
