This record and many more like it were preserved in boxes and housed in the Sumner County Courthouse. Due to space constraints they were moved to the TN State Library and Archives during the 1930's. In 1984 these records were indexed, microfilmed and sorted and sent back to Gallatin to be permanently housed and placed in the custody of the Sumner County Archives. Microfilm of this and other documents can be viewed at the Tennessee State Library & Archives, Nashville and the Sumner County Archives, Gallatin, Tennessee.

An article and copy of the original list appeared in the Highland Rim Keen & Kin, Volume I, Issue 1, June 1989, concerning many of the listed people. These individuals and their families lived "On The Ridge" from Fountain Head, Portland, Brackentown, Oak Grove, to the Pleasant Grove area.

The importance of this document is tremendous due to the fact that it is one of the first (tax, census, etc.) lists that indicate groups of individuals who lived near one another. The 1820 Sumner County, Tennessee Federal Census was alphabetized and therefore did not indicate location in the county for the families listed.

Where available I listed the date, etc. of the recorded Will in Sumner County, Tennessee. Most all of these individuals can be found listed in the 1830 Sumner County, Tennessee Federal Census, pages 159-182. Of course Land, Court and Marriages records may be consulted for further information on most of these individuals and families.

We offer many thanks to Mr. Keen for providing this list for the Sumner County GenWeb page!
