Benton County, on the Tennessee River in west Tennessee, was created in 1836 and named for David Benton, one of the early settlers in the area. This is a portion of the county court minutes for – – – – and include these pages of information on the early households in the county. It gives the name of the father and the number of children in the family that are of school age which at that time was from six to twenty years of age. The collection of names is by the Civil District that were created by the State Legislature in fall of 1835. The listing in this fashion gives the officials a picture of the need for school teachers and school buildings that would come about in time.
