Giles County was created on November 14, 1809 from part of Maury County and was named in honor of Governor William B. Giles of Virginia at the suggestion of Andrew Jackson. These county court minutes are the day to day running of the county by the commissioners. They give brief details on the deed transfers, wills, probate records, road orders and the countless other items to come before the commissioners every time they met. Information gleaned from here sometimes cannot be found else where in the government records. This is a wonderful source of information on the county during these years for the historian and the genealogist.

Example from this volume:

“Monday 16th February 1824 - John Mimms Gentlemen produced in court a License to practice law in the several courts of law and Equity with in this state and was qualified and admitted in this court.”
