This straight-forward publication contains the full text of
Jefferson County wills from 1792 through 1810 and is complimented by a
short history of the county.
One settlement gives a listing of persons in the county
that owed money to a doctor. This lists includes over 265 individuals and may well
be the best indicator of who resided in Jefferson County in 1810.
Below are a few examples of short full-text wills contained in this publication.
Some of the wills are very, very lengthly. (spellings & text left intact – exactly
as written.)
