"The purpose of this work was to gather information, of genealogical interest, that is connected to Lincoln County, Tennessee, and to unite them all together here. I have scoured masses of old books, as well as other records, in search of anyone related to this area. This work consists mainly of biographical and genealogical sketches of Lincoln County ancestors. For ease of the reader they are arranged in alphabetical order. Aside from a few, they also conveniently sourced beneath the individual sketches."--Preface.
