Jackson County, located in the upper middle Tennessee, and was created by an act of the Tennessee General Assembly on November 6, 1801. It was the eighteenth county established in the state. It was formed from part of Smith County plus Indian lands. The name honors Andrew Jackson, a U.S. congressman and senator, Tennessee Supreme Court judge, commander at the Battle of New Orleans, and the seventh President of the United States. In the early history of the state, there were few if any range laws and so when a person found stray animals, they turned them in to the county or a ranger. In most cases, this volume will list the finder and tell where he is living and the animals found. The locations and dates given are a great help to the research wanting more than just names and dates for an individual.
