Perry County, Tennessee

Legislative

 

 

 

Note that even though petitions don't seem necessarily useful to genealogists, they are.  Usually they will contain a list of people who signed the petition.  While this information isn't a birth or death date, it is enough information to place a person at a specific place in a specific point in time.

 

If you have a transcription of a legislative record that you would like to share, please contact Jan Monnin, your Perry County TnGenWeb coordinator.
