First County Court
The first session of the County Court was held
on May 24th, 1838, at the home of James C. Huff,
and the sessions of both the County and Circuit
Courts were held there for a period of three years,
when the courthouse was completed. This building
was recently torn away to make room for the new
and modern structure, one of the finest temples of
justice in the State. The following attorneys qualified
to practice law at the first term of the court:
Edward Johnston, John T. Anderson, Francis T.
Anderson, Alexander P. Eskridge, James B. Watts,
and John B. I. Logan.
