In that com- pany vs eie such notable persons as General William Davidson Judge John McNairy and Andieyw Jackson. One of the first regular stage coach routes in this section later ran over this road betvn een Carthage and Nashxille. Today our county still has several houses supposedly built in North Carolina The census of 1930 rated the illiteracy in Trousdale County at 14.3. In spite of this fact vue haxe one of the most highly accredited school systems in Tennessee. Trousdale has what is probably the most completely con- sclidated school sy stem in Tennesse .
