Transcriber's Notes:

• Original Material in Poor Condition.  Best Copy Available;
• Spelling is transcribed as was written in the original record;
• This is an interesting piece. From my analysis, the petition includes some who may not be of legal age and there are a few duplicate names;
• the spelling of names was quite creative. some names were duplicated but there may have been some junior/senior situations.  This is copied to the best of my ability, retaining spelling and pages. You will note that there seems to be several duplications of names. In other words, the same names are on more than one page.
• The numbers after each name are as they were included on the original copies I received from the Tennessee Archives.
• There may be a problem using the sitewide search engine as very creative spellings of the names was used.   It would be useful to read through the list of names, as you might find your ancestor's name as an alternate spelling.
