Abstract

Jackson County was created in 1801 from parts of Smith County and was named in honor of Andrew Jackson, who at that time, was a judge of the Superior Court of Law and Equity, having since 1796 resigned both as a member of the House of Representatives and as a member of the Senate of the United State. This volume was taken from an incomplete W. P. A. file that contained a number of different entries, ie. Historical sketches and traditions of the Upper Cumberland, land entries, whiskey sale of 1843, History of the Baptist Churches in Middle Tennessee and Jackson County, sketches of ministers in the area, Methodist church records, some with register of members, Bible records, Revolutionary War pensioners, family records and cemetery records.
