Bedford Co TN Tax Lists Dist 9-11 for years 1875-1888 at FamilySearch

This is a chart I made as a quick reference for one of my Cook projects. You will need to log in to FamilySearch  to follow the links but viewing is free with registration. The tax lists for this area and time period are available at FamilySearch but aren't indexed so making this is a timesaver as I will be frequently revisiting the lists during the project. At least they have a good bit of the later years(Ancestry doesn't for this area.) I thought maybe it would be useful for others so I'm sharing here.
