Settlements and Bonds Book A (July 1809 – May 1814)

 

(The location of the original 247-page book is unknown.  Only pages 107-247 were surviving at the time of microfilming in the late 1960s, and can be found on TSLA Stewart Co. roll 52.  A 1940 handwritten transcription of pages 1-174 appears in Tennessee State Library & Archives Record Group 2019-004 -WPA Records, Box 170, in a folder labeled “Wills for 1811-1815.”

 

As there were two earlier Settlements and Bonds books, the labeling of this Book as “A” is a mistake, perhaps committed at the time of microfilming when the earlier books were not found.)
