I updated the Scott Co, TN website tonight with lots of good stuff. Many, many thanks to our many contributors to the website. I want to highlight a couple things. We found 27 marriage records that are not documented anywhere else. The records were found in a building in Scott Co that was recently torn down. The names and dates are transcribed here. I will be adding images of the records during the summer -- after my visit to Scott Co in June. The other item I want to highlight is an addendum, created by Paul Roy, to his book "Scott County in the Civil War". Paul found some additional information that explains the case files he included in Chapter 4 from the book. THis is a must have for those who have a copy of his book. Stop by and take a look at the website. You never know, you might find something truly useful, or at the very least, truly interesting. ...tim west...
