Tennessee State Library

Mf. 1196 -- Jill Knight Garrett Collection, 1800-1969. 70 vols. 800 items. TSLA. 5 reels. 16 mm.
[View Manuscript Finding Aid]
This collection contains primarily material from and about Maury County and those adjoining river counties along the Duck and Tennessee Rivers, with some additional material on northern Alabama, all collected by Jill Knight Garrett in the course of her long career as a genealogist and local historian. There are voluminous cemetery records for Dickson, Hickman, Humphreys, Houston, Marshall, and Maury counties of Tennessee, and Lauderdale County of Alabama. Various court records for these same counties are included, along with genealogical data on the Anderson, Brandon, Dotson, Flowers, Forsee, Fowlkes, Garrett, Haile, Hopkins, Houston, Lamb, Jones, Joyce, Knight, Looney, McClain, McMillan, Miller, Nichols, Perry, Pillow, Roby, Schoffner, Thompson, Walker, Webster, and Wollard families.

A valuable part of the collection is the wealth of Civil War material. There are a number of transcribed diaries and memoirs of men who served in the Confederate Army from the river counties as well as a diary of a young girl, Rowena Webster; abstracts from wartime Nashville and other Middle Tennessee newspapers about soldier and civilian deaths; and a two-volume manuscript on partisan warfare entitled “Guerillas and Bushwhackers in Middle Tennessee During the Civil War.” It also includes unpublished manuscripts reflecting Mrs. Garrett’s research on early Maury County history, guerrillas and bushwhackers in Civil War-era Middle Tennessee, the Ku Klux Klan activities in Maury County, and Lauderdale County, Alabama.
