DR H. T. B. SPEIR DAYBOOK ABSTRACTS<br />
LOCATED NEAR CHEWALLA<br />
MCNAIRY COUNTY, TENNESSEE<br />
AT A LITTLE COMMUNITY CALLED TATESVILLE<br />
TRANSCRIBED BY NANCY WARDLOW KENNEDY<br />
DR SPEIR WAS MY GREAT-GREAT-UNCLE<br />
I have four paternal ancestors listed here<br />
Note: Most times the wife's name was not listed. Sometimes the ledger would say<br />
child. Any entry that says girl or boy is probably a slave. After the War Between the<br />
States, there are still some listings as such. These were probably the slaves that stayed<br />
on as hired hands for their previous owners.<br />
Child births are at the end <strong>of</strong> this list.<br />
