By: .Wilena Roberts BeJach, Pub. 1957, Reprinted 2018, 328 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-909-5. Williamson County was formed in 1799 from Davidson County, and until 1804 it extended to the Alabama line. Later counties cut out of this original Williamson County were: Bedford, Lincoln, Marshall, Maury, Rutherford, and Giles. This book contains over 5,000 marriages. All of which were copied from the original bonds and licenses. During this time frame, various factors such as: bad roads, long distances from court house, and weather would cause clergymen or justices of the peace who performed the ceremonies not to record the rites solemnized by them. Hence, we often find the bond but not the return by the official.

This fabulous work is a county-by-county guide to the genealogical records and resources at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Based largely on the Tennessee county records microfilmed by the LDS Genealogical Library, it is an inventory of extant county records and their dates of coverage. For each county the following data is given: formation, county seat, names and addresses of libraries and genealogical societies, published records (alphabetical by author), W.P.A. typescript records, microfilmed records (LDS), manuscripts, and church records. The LDS microfilm covers almost every record that could be used by the genealogist, from vital records to optometry registers, from wills and inventories to school board minutes. There also is a comprehensive list of statewide reference works.
