Compiled by WPA Workers **, this 494-page, 8.5x”11″ oversized publication
contains court minutes
from 1843 through 1850 for Carroll County, Tennessee.
This volume is packed with orphan records, estate matters, inventories, tax records, fines,
bastardly bonds, pauper records, emancipation orders, civil/criminal court cases, and
tax records.
You’ll find names, names and more names …
- County Officials/Employees/Officers
- Slave Owners
- Paupers
- Overseers
- Orphans
- Men appointed to compile a list of taxable property
- Court Justices
- Jurors
- Taxpayers
- Property owners
This volume provides a glimpse into the past when orphans, widows, and paupers were
taken care of by the community, when human beings were considered property, and lewd (**aka:
cursing**) behavior was punishable by imprisonment. But, most of all, it provides
clues on those lost ancestors.
** WPA Workers
During the Great Depression in the early 1900s, many Americans were given a “job” by
the United States Government to support their family. One such “job” was transcribing
early court, family, Bible, and cemetery records as well as other local records.
Original versions were typed on onion skin paper with “x” number of carbon copies.
Although the State Archives owns the vast majority of ‘first’ or typed copy, carbons
have circulated for years but are now scattered. Often the typing is not the best
and is difficult to read but these valuable records still constitute one of the
best sources of information for Tennessee Counties. In many cases, these are all
that remain of the original as many county records have been lost. WPA records are
generally full text transcription: much larger in scope than an abstraction or summary.
