GENEALOGICAL ABSTRACTS
FROM DEED BOOK 28,
MADISON COUNTY

(Page 34)

The genealogical information which follows has been gleaned from Deed Book 28, Madison County, Tennessee. Most deeds concerned the usual buying/receiving or grantee deeds and selling/giving or grantor deeds, mortgages, gifts, in dealing with real and personal estates. An effort has been made, here, to abstract in paraphrasal form (sometimes quoting directly from deed texts) the strictly genealogical data from among this mass of material. A serious researcher will use this information as an annotated index to the deeds for cross-referencing of names and relationships and then turn to the original recorded deeds for complete data.

In March 1870, HENRY C. McCUTCHEN was elected by the citizenry of Madison County to the office of Register of Deeds, for which he qualified in the Madison County Court, April 5, 1870. (Madison County Court Minute Book 11, page 380) This man served as Register for four years, therefore including the years covered by these abstracts. His kinsman, deputy W. T. McCutchen, actually recorded most of the deeds early in his term of office.
