Julie..... I agree with Renea about the library at Linden....those people are just terrific....especially if you can run into Mary Bowen while you are there....she's the lady that has done so many books about Perry Co.... I also found the ladies at the Court House in Linden to be very friendly and helpful....I was only searching for marriage records so I don't remember what else was available.... By the way, are you researching any of the following surnames in Perry, Hickman, or Humphreys Counties? HORNER GARLAND MAURRY COBLE PATTERSON Have a great weekend!
