Goodspeed Biographies
The Goodspeed Publishing Company of Nashville and Chicago issued A History of Tennessee from the Earliest Times to the Present, together with an Historical and a Biographical Sketch of Meigs County during 1886 and 1887. Goodspeed published their work in three parts.
First was the general History of Tennessee, Illustrated; second, the histories of the individual counties; and lastly, some biographies of the people from the individual counties. Presented here are the biographies of prominent families living at the time in Meigs County.

We would like to thank the Meigs County TNGEN site for allowing us to use this history.
