Court Records: Probate of Deeds, Gifts & Bills of Sale, January – August (partial), 1840

Transcribed from Marshall County Probate of Deeds 1836-1840, TN State Library & Archives microfilim roll #A-2188 and contributed by Dana Hill in October, 2002

Explanatory note:  “Probate” in the context of these records does not mean an estate process was begin heard in the court session, although the instruments may have derived from an estate settlement.  “Probate” here means proven, or validated.  Someone personally represented to the clerk that the document brought in for registration was legitimate.  You will see similar references in early land transactions where the record says witnesses appeared in open court, and the instrument was ordered to be registered.

Transcriber’s notes:

Each entry is separate, with the source listed first. There were only page numbers on the first 3 pages.
A couple of pages were filmed twice, but I did not number them the same so that if you got a copy of the original you would have to count the pages you would [hopefully] get a copy of the desired page.

My comments are in [square brackets]
