Decatur County, located on the west bank of the Tennessee River as it returns north out of Mississippi, was created in 1845 and named for Stephen Decatur, Jr. Who was a noted soldier in the War of 1812 and the First and Second Barbary War. It was created by a petition of the citizen on the west bank of the Tennessee River to create a new county as their county seat was in Perry County on the east bank. These pages contain mostly land transactions as well as items pertaining to slaves and other events in the county at the time. A very good record of who was living in the area at the time.
