Apprenticeship records are ordinarily 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\u003eJust as he did for 29 counties of East Tennessee, Dr. Alan Miller has sifted through the apprenticeship records of Middle Tennessee and brought them within the reach of the genealogy researcher. This second volume of Tennessee's \"forgotten children\" contains some 7,000 apprenticeship records scattered among the minutes of the county courts for Middle Tennessee. These records span the period from 1784 to 1902 and list in tabular form the apprenticeships created in the following 35 Tennessee counties: Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Coffee, Davidson, DeKalb, Dickson, Franklin, Giles, Grundy, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Jackson, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Marshall, Maury, Montgomery, Moore, Overton, Perry, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Van Buren, Warren, Wayne, White, Williamson, and Wilson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Miller extracted 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 we are given the name of the apprentice, a date (either the date of the original bond or indenture, or a subsequent date), the age at apprenticeship, the 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.

The name honors Andrew Jackson, a U.S. congressman and senator, Tennessee Supreme Court judge, commander at the Battle of New Orleans, and the seventh President of the United States. In the early history of the state, there were few if any range laws and so when a person found stray animals, they turned them in to the county or a ranger. In most cases, this volume will list the finder and tell where he is living and the animals found.

Davidson County was created by the State of NC in 1783, three years before the State of Tennessee was officially created. The best contemporary documentary evidence for an accurate location of these settlers when the county was created is the original Land Entry Book. It has better details than that to be found in the subsequent land grants. It was customary for the settler to describe the location of his plantation on some stream or head waters of some stream, or on some mountain. Each entry is dated. There were numerous transfers of entries before the issuance of a grant. Some are referred to in the entry, but generally the entry taker would mark through the name of the original entree and insert the name of the one to whom it was transferred. Not only was the first named entered, frequently marked out, but many times erased and the next name written in its place. Many of the entries had as many as four names marked out and written in with no way of knowing whose name was the last one written. North Carolina started recording land transactions through the Land Entry System around March 1778. This old Entry Book Abstracts will be of help to many whose ancestors either passed through or remained in Jackson and Davidson Counties.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlbert Bruce Pruitt\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(2019), 2026, paper, index, 76 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781639147090\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e117-TN208\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Historical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43117824835702,"sku":"117-TN208","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/117-tn208-1500px.png?v=1777315289"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/tennessee-jackson-county\/land-records.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
