Apprenticeship records (which ordinarily take the form of bonds and indentures) are often buried among volumes of original county court minute books. They are nonetheless valuable to genealogists because they establish the existence of young people who might otherwise go undetected in the more conventional genealogical sources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWest Tennessee's Forgotten Children: Apprentices from 1821 to 1889\u003c\/i\u003e marks the third and concluding volume in Dr. Alan N. Miller's series of extractions (begun in 2000) of Tennessee apprenticeship records. Just as he did for the 29 counties of East Tennessee and 35 counties of Middle Tennessee, Dr. Miller has sifted through the apprenticeship records of West Tennessee and brought them within the reach of the genealogy researcher. This third volume contains over 4,000 apprenticeship records scattered among the minutes of the county courts for West Tennessee. These records span the period 1821 to 1889 and list in tabular form the apprenticeships created in the following 19 Tennessee counties: Benton, Carroll, Crockett, Decatur, Dyer, Fayette, Gibson, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, Henry, Lake, Lauderdale, Madison, McNairy, Obion, Shelby, Tipton, and Weakley.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Miller extracted data for this volume from county court minutes on microfilm obtained from the Tennessee State Archives, the Dallas Public Library, and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. He has arranged the records by county and thereunder chronologically. For each record he gives the name of the apprentice, a date (either the date of the original bond or indenture or a subsequent date), age at apprenticeship, name of the master, and miscellaneous information ranging from the name of the mother or a sibling, race, cause of apprenticeship (e.g., orphan), his\/her trade, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan N.

It was named for David Crockett [1786-1836] frontier humorist, soldier, Tennessee state legislator and United States congressman, and defender of the Alamo. The county seat of Crockett County is Alamo, situated between the south and middle forks of Forked Deer River. The south fork of Forked Deer River forms the southern boundary line and the middle fork of the Forked Deer River forms the northern boundary line. The first settlement in this area was about 1824 near the Haywood County line, south of the present town of Bell's Depot. Some of the first settlers were Francis M. Wood, Charles Wortham, William Johnson, Timothy Parker, Wyatt F. Tweedy, Wiley Dodd, William Dyer, Thomas Tweatt and William Kavanaugh. These marriage records reflect a later development in Tennessee Marriage Records in that the addition of Bondsmen were added. Here there are two per wedding for the most part. Also listed are the county court clerk and the official to the wedding in addition to the couple and the dates the license was issued and the date of the wedding.
