The Wayne County, Tennessee History and Genealogy Page is pleased to announce that the complete transcription of the first existing volume of County Court Minutes for Wayne County, Tennessee (from Sept 1848 to June 1854) is now on-line at http://www.netease.net/wayne/countycourt.htm The publication consists of the 469 pages of this first surviving minute book and is full of administrative appointments, guardianship reports, estate settlements, petitions for the sale of land and slaves, road overseer appointments and many other county government related activities. This is as complete a transcription (not an abstract) as I could make from the original book. Only certain standard bonds for county officials were not transcribed completely since they merely repeat the same wording as the first ones transcribed. There is no "index" for the volume, but it is included in the main page search engine. Very special thanks to Barbara W. Wallace and Pat Foster for doing the input from the transcriptions in the first five volumes of the "The Wayne County HIstorian". These were not available on computer as were the installments from Volumes 6, 7 & 8. Happy Hunting Edgar
