Wm C Cook entry -- Williamson Co TN Road Book Vol.2


Williamson Co TN Vol 2 Road Book--Index

Transcription:  

Ordered that William C Cook oversee that part of the fishing ford road of which Jacob Crick was late overseer and that all the hands on the south side of the road  leading leading(sic) from Murfreesborough to Columbia and all the hands that worked under said Crick work therein under his direction and that they work said road from the Bedford County line to the Rutherford County line.

Notes:  There is no date given in the entry however looking at the surrounding entries it appears to be Fall of 1838.  Where is Volume 1 of the Road Books?  Does it no longer exist?  I looked for it on the digitized microfilmed images but looks like this roll of microfilm was of Volumes 2, 3, and 4 of the Williamson Co TN Road Books. Will see if I can locate the Jacob Crick entry and update if I do find it.
