Barbara, Most of the Hardin County records (probate, deeds, chancery court, etc.) are in the Dallas Public Library, as are most records of other Tennessee counties. I think Houston's library has them as well. I work in the Dallas library one Saturday a month, and would be happy to check the deed indexes for a family name for you. I don't know where you are, but if you are in Texas, you have at least two great sources! And I'll bet other libraries also have some of this information. You might also check library catalogs or order from Salt Lake City. Sharon Agee Morrow Arlington, Texas
