Welcome to Dickson County, Tennessee

Dickson-Online was first established in 1996. At that time it was a small community site, housed on Mindspring.com. The site grew and in 1998 it became known as DCTN.com, home of Dickson County's Genealogy Project. Again the site grew. In 2003 it was decided that DCTN.com and Dickson-Online would merge, becoming the difinitive site for Dickson Countians to gather, find local information and news as well as a place for genealogists to search their roots.

Will of Samuel James 2411 Reads

Contributed by Jon C Wray

Note: I suspect that the Polly James mentioned is my 3rd Great Grandmother Mary Ann (Polly Ann) James who married William John O'Kain, my 3rd Great Grandfather. I have never been able to prove this connection as this is the only place I have ever found a Polly James. Any help would be appreciated. <P align=right>...Jon C Wray"
