This County Court Minute book is the earliest surviving volume of the minutes of either the Pleas and Quarter Sessions Court and the County Court in Wayne County, Tennessee. No earlier minutes were found in a search of the 1905 courthouse attic prior to the January 1972 fire. It is therefore assumed that the earlier volumes of court minutes were either lost or destroyed during the War of Rebellion.
This first volume of County Court Minutes has been completely transcribed from the original by Edgar D. Byler, III (notes added by the transcriber) and previously published serially in the Wayne County Historian.
Special thanks to Barbara Warthen Wallace who volunteered to do the input on the first four installments (published in Volume 1, 1988).
