Summary
The primary impetus for most early-day legitimations seems to have been the need to confer rights of heirship for stepchildren or for children born out of wedlock. These records are taken primarily from the Minutes of the County Courts. Entries from the Circuit Court are so identified. Those entries taken from the legislative records are labels TPA (Tennessee Private Acts).
