Research strategy

  1. Confirm the event year and whether the place sat in a parent jurisdiction or different city/county boundary.
  2. Search census clusters naming Farragut or nearby neighborhoods.
  3. Abstract land/probate at the county seat; expand FAN clubs from witnesses and neighbors.
  4. Use churches, cemeteries, and newspapers covering Farragut when vitals are thin.
  5. Open the Knox hub and Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA).
