In the early 1960s, my grandmother, Lucy Lemons Spencer, told me that seven of Grandpa Spencer's brothers and sisters died when they were babies and were buried in the middle of a pasture somewhere in Jack County, Texas.

Some 27 years later, my wife and I were searching cemeteries in the area where my grandfather, Lewis Edward Spencer, was born.

Before the 20th century, Tennessee and many other states did not keep comprehensive records of births, marriages, and deaths. Families recorded their own vital records in family Bibles that were passed down through generations. The Tennessee State Library and Archives holds hundreds of family Bible records in several formats and within many collections. The Bible records featured here were taken from photocopies in TSLA’s vertical files; additional records will be added as they are donated or discovered in manuscripts collections. The bulk of the records in this collection date between the late 18th and early 20th century. Many prominent Tennessee families are represented here; some records even include the names of families’ slaves. Click "Read More" for more details
