"This book contains approximately 2,000 land grants recorded in Greene County, Tennessee. Some of these grants were made by the U.S. Government to pay off debts to officers and soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War; some of the grants was land owned and sold by Lord Granville; while other grants were issued by the states of North Carolina and Tennessee to encourage settlement in the new state of Tennessee. All grants had to be registered by the claimant in order for his grant to be legal."--Introd.

This fabulous work is a county-by-county guide to the genealogical records and resources at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Based largely on the Tennessee county records microfilmed by the LDS Genealogical Library, it is an inventory of extant county records and their dates of coverage. For each county the following data is given: formation, county seat, names and addresses of libraries and genealogical societies, published records (alphabetical by author), W.P.A. typescript records, microfilmed records (LDS), manuscripts, and church records. The LDS microfilm covers almost every record that could be used by the genealogist, from vital records to optometry registers, from wills and inventories to school board minutes. There also is a comprehensive list of statewide reference works.
