Maury County was founded in 1807. It was named in honor of Abram Maury. A Williamson County surveyor, who was one of the commissioners appointed to lay out counties in West Tennessee. He became State senator in 1805, later to become a member of the State House of Representatives.

Hello and welcome to the Maury County, Tennessee Genealogy Trails web site! My name is Darlene Anderson and I am glad to be your county coordinator.

I do not live in Maury County and therefore, cannot do genealogy research for anyone. I will, however, do my best to provide genealogy and historical information about Maury County on this web site. While I am always searching for the best information I can find for this website, I invite you to contribute information about your Maury County ancestors. If you're not sure what information to contribute send me an email.

Examples of information you may decide to contribute would be births, marriages and deaths; a clipping from a local newspaper; transcribed copy of any type of court records; Bible records; cemetery transcriptions and photographs of tombstones or a narrative about your Maury County family. There are many types of information to choose from, so if you're not sure what to contribute contact me!

If you are interested joining our group as County Host for any of our websites, view our Volunteer Information page and Email Kim. A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required.

In the meantime, we'd be very happy to accept any data you'd care to contribute and would like to see displayed on this site. We're looking for "raw data" - the birth/death/marriage records, obituaries, cemetery headstone readings, biographies, county histories, census data, pensions and other military data. In short, we'd like to display all the items you used to put together your family tree (rather than the tree itself). Email the information to Darlene.
