"The County and Circuit Court Minutes abstracted in this book are new to family historians. So untouched for the last 170 years that the pages have never been numbered, these minutes open to us new insights on life in Dickson County in the early 1800s." Court minutes may provide the missing link in some family histories. Questions about family relationships may be answered by paternity suits; relatives may be found when orphans are given guardians or impoverished folk are provided with care-givers. For example: "Richd M Jones allowed $36 each for maintaining for one year Jno, Robt, & Mary Jordan minor orphans of Seth B Jordan decd." These minutes contain all of the county court business for the years 1816-1828, including divorces, administration of estates, deeds of conveyance, debts, and more. Presiding officials, names of jurors, and names of parties involved in the court proceedings are also included. The witness docket names the principal parties in each case, the witness, and the number of days and miles they spent travelling to court. (Sometimes witnesses were called from other counties or even other states.) These minutes were abstracted from microfilm and appear in chronological order. Every name written in the original minutes is in this book, which includes a handy index.

This is a compilation of the county's earliest death records taken from Book 1, 1853-1904, which despite the dates in the title, actually has records only to 1903. Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia), was formed in 1784 and was a "crossroads county", yet virtually nothing has been published from its vital records. This volume helps to correct that situation. Harrison County death records began with the year 1853. West Virginia became a state June 20, 1863; therefore, all its counties listed in this work prior to the formation of the state were named as Virginia counties. Included in this volume are the data most pertinent to the genealogist, excluding the cause of death. Information includes names of parents and/ or spouses and the birthplace. Where parents' or spouses' names are not available are given. Surname index included.

This collection is arranged in an easy-to-use format. Each entry contains, when known, the surname spelling variation, given name, father and mother, event and date, city, county, state, and source.
