The
Sumner County, Tennessee Genealogists Companion Page was created by
Sumner County natives whose ancestral roots began in Sumner County in the early
1800's. Linda Carpenter is a 1965 graduate of Gallatin High School and was
instrumental in the formation of the Sumner County Archives, and she still
resides in Gallatin. Jan Johnson Barnes is a 1967 graduate of Portland
High School. She presently lives in Florida, but visits her parents in Portland
often. Both of these natives share a love of genealogy and history and are
proponents of free research. The records on their site are transcribed from
microfilm and original documents and include: Bible, census, Community, Family
Lineages and photos, obituaries, tax and voter lists. Marriage records are
also available as well as lookups through the year 1947. They are continually
adding new records, presently working on the Civil War Deed Book, transcribed
from microfilm. Please visit their site at:
