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, Wilkinson & Wiseman Funeral records and history, 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:
