Maury County was formed in November 1807 from Williamson County. It is the only county named Maury in the United States.<\/p>\n
Unlike a lot of counties, Maury County has never had a major loss of records. We have not only the large leather\u00a0bound books of records but the loose records as well.\u00a0The Loose Records Project\u00a0began cleaning and organizing the loose records of Maury County and when the Maury County Archives was formed in 2001 they incorporated the project and kept on going. For over twenty years (2011), volunteers and staff have been cleaning, organizing and labeling these records, working\u00a0to make them available to the public.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The information in these loose records is astounding. Two sets of records, the original marriage licenses\u00a0and bonds and the Chancery Court records have been completed. Meaning they have been cleaned, foldered, indexed and microfilmed. These records are available at the Maury County Archives, the Tennessee State Library and Archives or through the LDS church. The next collection of records are the Circuit and County Court records. Circuit Court includes such records as divorces and criminal records to name a few. County Court records include the poorhouse and pauper records as well as receipts for witnesses, road and bridge work and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
