Sequatchie County, located in the middle of Sequatchie Valley, was given the name of the area which was derived from a Cherokee word meaning “trough” or sometimes “hog trough”. These court minutes give the day to day running of the county by the commissioners and include things like road orders, deed transfers, bondage orders for orphans and many other items of interest that involve the local people.

 

Example

“7th June 1858 - Ordered by the Court that Olly Hatfield guardian for Franklin Harvey minor heir of William Harvey dec’d be authorized to collect any debts that were owing to said Harvey dec’d. etc...”
