Rutherford County was created by an Act of the General Assembly at Knoxville October 25, 1803. County was formerly part of Davidson County and was named in Honor of Major-General Griffith Rutherford of Revolutionary fame.
County Courts were mt organized until January 3, 1804 and Jefferson was the first County seat. Murfreesboro became the permanent County seat in 1911 and the State Capital from 1817 until 1326
Rutherford County Deed Records began in 1804 with first Deeds recorded during the April Term of the County Court.
Only Genealogical information, Names Dates and prior places of residence (where riven) has been abstracted from the Deeds. No attempt has been made to interpret or to correct spelling. Searchers should check all names that may sound or look like the names for which they are searching.
