From Chester County Tennessee, 1882-1995. History and Family

Beginning at a stake on the south bank of the middle fork of Forked Deer River where the Henderson and Madison County line crosses...to a stake...on the land of Dr W. E. Tucker; thence to an arc of a circle 11 miles from Lexington 12.93 miles; thence east one mile ; thence in a southern direction to the northwest corner of Hardin County; thence with said line to the northeast corner of McNairy County; thence south with the McNairy and Hardin County line 1.52 miles; thence west 1.39 miles...om the lands of Thomas Wilkerson; thence west 8 miles; thence with the arc of a circle, with the radius of 11 miles, from the town of Purdy 14 miles; thence west 2.3 miles; thence with the arc of a cirle with a radius of 11 miles from the town of Bolivar. 3.75 miles; thence north to the Madison County line; thence east with the Henderson and Madison County line; thence north with said line to the beginning. 278.77 square miles.

Records of Chester County begin with 1882. Before that year, researchers should look in the records of the counties from which Chester County was formed. For instance when O'Neal Cemetery was established it was in McNairy County. Since 1882, it has been in Chester Co.
