Directed specifically towards the genealogical researcher, this volume contains the abbreviated text of Administrator's Settlement Books for DeKalb County, Tennessee from 1846 through 1907. Each entry lists all information pertinent to research and eliminates the cumbersome text often associated with this type of publication. Void of legal terminology, it immediately captures relevant data ... the name of deceased, heirs, and relationships - information researchers want.
