County Court Records contain a wealth of information including:

  1. the presentation of wills for probate,
  2. appointments of administrators for estates,
  3. presentation of the results of estate sales,
  4. approval of powers of attorney for recording,
  5. appointments of commissioners for matters such as to lay out roads, serve at elections, and set aside a year's provisions from an estate for a widow,
  6. relief granted for taxation issues (such as excess valuation or double taxation),
  7. appointments of overseers for roads, and
  8. appointments of and payments to guardians for taking care of orphan children.

All pages can be individually accessed by page number - no need to search through a roll of microfilm to find the page of interest. Pages can be printed directly on almost any  printer attached to your local computer - no need to pay the high copying costs at a library or archives and accept the poor quality prints produced by most microfilm printers. For far less than the cost of a book (such as Earliest Court Records of Bedford County, TN  by Timothy R. and Helen C. Marsh) that only abstracts selected portions of these court records, you can own two complete court minute books! For less than the non-refundable $10 fee that is charged by the archives to search for a court record during a given five year period you can own a copy of all the County Court records for a two year period!

The page images contained in this product were prepared from microfilm published by the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA). This publication was prepared from Roll 80 of the Bedford County, Tennessee records at TSLA. The document contained in this product is the handwritten original of Volume D of the County Court Minute Book  of Bedford County, Tennessee that covers the period from 5 August 1772 through 17 December 1874.
