Valentina	# 12 Graff: above Sentence begin date is written in lighter ink: Jany 22 83 # 14 Griffin: above Sentence begin date is written in lighter ink: Sept 26 - '81 I couldn't figure out how to enter this info., it doesn't seem to be in the instructions	14	Roll 11 Vol 35 part 2	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	Numbers 3, 4, 5 and 9 have some info entered to left of the name. I did not transcribe it because there isn't any good place to enter it on the form. Some of it is a date. Some of it could be a page number referring to another page in the records	13	Roll 11 Vol 35 part 2	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago

librarygirl1999	The last 3 lines (Ewing, Elbert, Emery) have dates in the No. column. I was not sure which belonged to which, but I put them in Remarks.	11	Roll 11 Vol 35 part 2	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Taneya Koonce	Line 2: cannot read the name after John	28	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	No. 5, a white man convicted in 1992 for "challenge for duel," kind of unusual. He got a 7 year sentence.	8	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames S-Z	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
RobinH	Page marked POOR COPY WE[?] Image was not fully captured on right edge of the page.	1	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames L-R	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago

Camille Westmont	I think this might be an instance where they wrote in the wrong information and corrected it. The original says "H-Breaking and Larceny"	3	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames A-E	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Camille Westmont	Got it!	2	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames A-E	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Camille Westmont	Thanks! I got some of it!	4	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames A-E	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	I marked page as blank, it is the cover page for Volume 39.	1	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames A-E	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	On last number, scan is so dark I could not read it.	4	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames A-E	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	Under number 3, crime, there are additional words crossed off, which I could not read but someone else might be able to.	3	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames A-E	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	Scan is too dark to read easily in last two lines.	2	Roll 12 Vol. 39, Surnames A-E	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Camille Westmont	Fixed!	10	Roll 11 Vol 35 part 2	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Camille Westmont	I believe the symbol you are referring to is a "C" with a line through it	15	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	On this page a number of the people have a question mark in the race column; once again there is a symbol instead of col or wh.	15	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	# 9 name and race and county crossed off so heavily as to be nearly unreadable # 7 and 8 have a symbol in race column rather than col or wh, same symbol as I referred to in a note on a prior page in this volume	14	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	# 4 was another 15 year old, harsh sentence of 10 years for Larceny from Person	12	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	#s 1, 4, 5, 6, 7: race is indicated with a symbol I can't interpret. It may be an abbreviation for C or Col, but the writer is inconsistent, sometimes using the symbol and sometimes writing C, so it may mean something different. (?)	11	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	almost 4 years ago
Valentina	page 11 errors prevented page from being saved	11	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames N-S	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Valentina	Names # 3-9: instead of "Col" as in name # 1, there is a symbol or abbreviation which I think may mean "Col" but not sure (?).	11	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames N-S	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Ellacobbs	Had some difficulty with names, one crime, and one county on this page	10	Roll 11 Vol 35 part 2	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Valentina	Note: another 12 year old on this page. # 2, William Walden, sentenced to two consecutive one year sentences for Larceny. # 9 the county seems to clearly say "James" but on my list of contemporary counties there is no such county. I wonder if we ...	10	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames T-Z	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Camille Westmont	I think the first name for 2 is Lee. For 4, I can’t read last name but first name was John crossed out and Wm written above it	7	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Camille Westmont	Oh my gosh, that’s definitely the youngest entry I’ve seen. I’ll see if I can find the rest of the entry to see what happened to him. Three years is a long time for a 12 year old to do hard manual labor. Thanks for all of your work!	9	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Valentina	See entry 7, Ed Evans, colored, sentenced to 3 years for Larceny and Housbreaking, was only twelve years old. He was barely 5 feet tall and weighed 110 pounds.	9	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Valentina	In the 4th entry, the name is heavily crossed out and unreadable. In the county column, Dyer is crossed off. In the crime column, some info is crossed out and unreadable.	7	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames D-H	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Camille Westmont	It took me a bit thinking, but I bet "R.S" refers to the Rattlesnake Mine. The Rattlesnake Mine was also owned by Tennessee Coal and Iron and it was located in the same valley as the Lone Rock Mine. I noticed that there is at least one person who ...	3	Roll 11 Vol 35 part 2	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Valentina	On Line 1, it looks like the person was accused of 4 crimes, each committed in one of the 4 counties listed.	7	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames N-S	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
Valentina	Do you want us to click "needs review" after we finish each page, or only if there is something problematic we've submitted a question or note about?	1	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames N-S	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
LauraHSTRIAN	Could the last name be Chinn? There was a lot of Chinese immigration in TN throughout the 1800s and that's kind of the way I am leaning, though I haven't been into the Bedford County censuses at all. Since this we're looking at the 1880s, perhaps ...	25	Roll 11 Vol. 36, Surnames A-C	Convict Leasing Project - Tracy City	about 4 years ago
LauraHSTRIAN	All names on this page are crossed out with the exceptions of Alf Covey (#3) and Marion Coonwood (#7), whose name is crossed out, but a change made to that name - to Marion Johnson - is not.
