Can anyone tell me if the Courthouse in Hardin County has any early estate records and are you allowed to look at them? Also any help on James C McLin and family will be appreciated. James C McLin was in Lincoln Co., TN in 1830; Wayne County 1840 and Hardin Co. in 1850. He may have been a Presbyterian preacher. I can't find him after 1850. In a book on Hardin Co., I found he owned 195 acres of land on the East TN River. Wheh I looked through a micro-film of deed index, I could not find his name. How can you own land and not buy or sell it? Thanks, Sue Davis

Continuing the effort to nail down all the heirs of Jonathan MARTIN (1770/1780-1842), a researcher has failed to find any evidence of the sale of any land, and further, has failed to find disposition of funds that were left with the county by Chesley GARRISON, who handled settlement of the estate. Hopefully, one of you good list members might have information to share on this problem. Frank Martin
