Hi Kevin and Teresa, I just talked to the Archives yesterday. They work with me on several web projects for Rutherford County and are really great guys. The do not have the circuit court records. I also talked to the Gore Center and the MTSU library's special books section yesterday. They do not have the circuit court records. What is available are the Minutes Books and indexes. They are in the County Clerk's office. They go back to 1804. I've looked through them and have gotten several different types of information..like old court records. I also know this is correct because Marty told me. I'm going Thursday and will see what I can find. I'll be looking for Kevin's 1821 curcuit court record :) Mari Byers Kevin, Have you tried TSLA? I don't know if they have the Circuit Court stuff, which I doubt, since you have told me the Rutherford County Archives claim to have them, but they do sell microfilm that they have from time to time.
