Scott Co. TN Minute Book (Deeds) 1859-1861 (Volume C), transcriptions by WPA; incl. index (FHL fiche 6,048,566 and book 976.871 R2s)
      MAD: Index does not always match. Deeds do not contain a day, only a month and year; sometimes only a year, sometimes completely undated. This WPA transcript is apparently word for word, in the same format as the original book. Many deeds had sketchy land boundaries, and often no locality for the grantor and grantee. I have extracted the deeds from the complete text. Page numbers used are those in the original book, not the page on the typed pages by WPA.
