Sullivan Co., Tennessee Deeds

Webb & Related Deeds (and a lot that are not related but were used during research to identify the location of other parcels of land). This is not a complete list of deeds. Those deeds transcriptions and abstracts contained in this document after the index have not all have been verified against the films to insure accuracy and no attempt has been made to retain the original format of documents. Those documents in the Sullivan Co., TN USGenWeb archives have been verified but there may still be some mistakes. If you find an error I would appreciate knowing about it.

Thanks to Glenda Frank Mosher for the initial list of Webb related grants to help get me started.
