These documents offer a collection of the last wills and testaments from residents of Maury County, Tennessee during the years 1810-1825, with a full-name index which lists the page number in the original document. "The WPA Records are, for the most part, carbon copies of the original that was typed on onion skin paper during the Depression.

Sometimes there are water stains and burned edges around the paper."
