This volume contains the abbreviated text of Franklin County, Tennessee wills from 1808 through 1875. Each entry lists all information pertinent to research and eliminates the cumbersome text often associated with this type of publication.
Void of legal terminology, it immediately captures relevant data … the name of deceased, heirs, and relationships – information researchers want. As Joe Friday would say, “just the facts ma’am, just the facts.”
