Scudder Rifleman List--Unionville TN from Shelbyville Gazette(1911)
I used ChatGPT(free version) to aid in extracting the names by uploading 2 halves of the image. It did an okay job but did a lot of repeating. I did a complete review to insure that the listing was as printed. It's not exactly in alphabetical order but that is the way it was printed in the paper. See original image at the source listing below. I probably could have read and typed it faster. The image itself was fairly clear in comparison to some of the newspaper images I've used in my research.

1876 Bedford Co TN Tax List: Missing Page Located
While working on a timeline project for my Cook research it became apparent that the 1876 Bedford Co. Tennessee District 10 tax list that is on FamilySearch has a page that was missed during the filming process.
Tax books, 1875-1895, 1897, 1899-1904, 1906-1923, 1925, 1931-1965
1875-1877 IGN 008659629Image #274 has Surnames starting with the letter "A" thru a small portion of "C"The next image, #275 has surnames beginning with the letters G thru H.
I contacted both the Tennessee State Library & Archives and the folks at the Bedford Co. Tennessee Archive to see if anyone was aware of the issue with the microfilm and if the page existed. TSLA got back to me first and let me know that the set of tax records in their collection was the same microfilm that I was viewing at FamilySearch. I heard back from the Bedford Co. Tennessee Archives yesterday afternoon. They have the duplicate book that TSLA used to create the microfilm and were able to clarify that the missing page does exist and was inadvertently skipped during the microfilming process. They took pictures of the missed page of the book and emailed them to me today.
I'm so grateful to the Bedford Co TN archives for doing that. Perhaps something can be done on a larger scale to make folks aware of the omission. In the meantime, I'm posting here to make others who research Bedford Co. TN folks aware that the missing page does exist and can be found at the Bedford County archives. This is a great reminder to study the records so that you are able to recognize errors.
