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.

These tombstone records were made of two different sources of information. The first part are the WPA collection of inscriptions gathered during the Great Depression in the 1930s. These records were gathered but never typed and returned to the State Archives. Mountain Press purchased the material from the project's State Supervisor's estate in the late 1980s. The second portion of this material are the records found in the TVA collection of those cemeteries along the Tennessee River prior to the flooding of the Kentucky Lake. These do not constitute a full collection of the records for Perry County, but they are both among the older ones for the area. In many cases, the cemeteries and\/or the graves are destroyed or vandalized and the stones, if there were any, are gone. Many of the early records were found in the WPA collection on funeral home markers that have long since disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWPA Records and Tennessee Valley Authority Records\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2011, paper, 43 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788486333\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101E-TN1339\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39546849198198,"sku":"101E-TN1339","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101e-tn1339-1500px.png?v=1777148789"},{"product_id":"tngs-023","title":"Perry County, Tennessee Court Minutes, Volume 1, 1834-1838","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTennessee Genealogical Society\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e300 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTNGS-023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tennessee Genealogical Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39911954907254,"sku":"TNGS-023","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/tngs-023-1500px.png?v=1777320046"},{"product_id":"tngs-024","title":"Perry County, Tennessee Court Minutes, Volume 2, 1838-1841","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTennessee Genealogical Society\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e284 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTNGS-024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tennessee Genealogical Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39911956283510,"sku":"TNGS-024","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/tngs-024-1500px.png?v=1777320046"},{"product_id":"tngs-025","title":"Perry County, Tennessee Court Minutes, Volume 3, 1841-1844","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTennessee Genealogical Society\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e547 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTNGS-025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tennessee Genealogical Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39911957626998,"sku":"TNGS-025","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/tngs-025-1500px.png?v=1777320050"},{"product_id":"101e-tn0514","title":"Perry County, Tennessee History and Biographies","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1887 by Goodspeed, this publication is full of names and sketches of Perry County pioneers and complemented by a history of the county.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluded in publication but \u003cstrong\u003eNOT\u003c\/strong\u003e included in family sketch surnames index (below) are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNames of Sheriffs and Terms in Office\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNames of Clerks of the County Court and Terms in Office\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNames of Clerks of the Circuit Court and Terms in Office\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNames of Registers and Terms in Office\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNames of Trustees and Terms in Office\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoodspeed Publishing Company\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1887), reprint, 8.5\" x 11\", paper, 37 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788490040\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101E-TN0514\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40129249837174,"sku":"101E-TN0514","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101e-tn0514-1500px.png?v=1777148426"},{"product_id":"117-tn12","title":"History of Tennessee Illustrated: Lawrence, Wayne, Perry, Hickman, and Lewis Counties","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains biographical sketches of some 222 individuals and genealogical data on some 1,000 other families\/individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoodspeed Publishing Company\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1886), 1979, paper, index, 129 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780893081133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e117-TN12\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Historical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41540549476470,"sku":"117-TN12","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/117-tn12-1500px.png?v=1776460875"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/tennessee-perry-county\/tennessee-sumner-county.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
