Subject: Scott Co, TN Website Updated
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 20:49:08 -0400
I updated the Scott Co, TN website tonight with lots of good stuff.
Many, many thanks to our many contributors to the website. I want to
highlight a couple things. We found 27 marriage records that are not
documented anywhere else. The records were found in a building in Scott
Co that was recently torn down. The names and dates are transcribed
here. I will be adding images of the records during the summer -- after
my visit to Scott Co in June. The other item I want to highlight is an
addendum, created by Paul Roy, to his book "Scott County in the Civil
War". Paul found some additional information that explains the case
files he included in Chapter 4 from the book. THis is a must have for
those who have a copy of his book.
Stop by and take a look at the website. You never know, you might find
something truly useful, or at the very least, truly interesting.
