Overton County was established in 1806 and at one time      embraced all or portions of the territory that eventually became Fentress,      Clay, Pickett, and Putnam counties. Some famous names associated with      Overton, and later Fentress, include Davy Crockett, John Sevier, Joseph      Copeland, and John M. Clements (father of Mark Twain). Since the early      records of the counties of Fentress, Pickett, Putnam, and Jackson have all      or partially been destroyed, the extant records of Overton County assume      special significance. The work in hand contains records of approximately      2,500 early Overton County inhabitants and features abstracts of various      classes of records. Principal contents include the following: Abstracts of      Deeds, Wills, Grants, and Minutes from Overton County Deed Books;      Legislative Petitions, 1801-1860; Officers in the Tennessee Militia,      1807-1811; Pensioners in Overton and Adjoining Counties, 1818-1883; and      Index to Overton County Will Books, 1870-1891.
