. 1812 FRANKLIN COUNTY, TENNESSEE TAX LIST
Roll No. 3, TSLA
Transcribed by Judy Henley Phillips. All rights reserved.
The tax lists on this roll of microfilm are paged consecutively. The Franklin Co., TN list begins with page 77 and is also numbered beginning with page 1. I have enclosed the microfilm page number in parenthesis for convenience in finding a page of interest. Each page has a double row of names with their number of polls. The polls are tallied at the end of each row and with the figure brought forward to the next column. All polls are 1 except where indicated otherwise. There are not more than two polls listed for a person. Due to ownership of land in other districts, names do appear more than once.
The enumerator changed his style of recording the names from time to time. He switched between putting the surname first and the given name first. The handwriting is consistent throughout, indicating the same enumerator or scribe.
Most of the names are fairly easy to read. I have placed a question mark by those I feel unsure about. The pages appear to be in good shape and have microfilmed well.
