Additional Comments:
This is believed to be the will of Demarcus(Mark) Tune who died in April 1860 

in Franklin County, Tennessee.  He was born in Halifax, Virginia circa 1806.  

His parents were William and Lurana Scurlock Tune.  Demarcus Tune signed the 

inventory to his father's estate in Halifax, Virginia in February 1832.  He 

lived in Bedford County as early as 1835.  He was noted as being the guardian 

of David T. Tune in Bedford County in 1844.  Guardianship information taken 

from "The Jennings-Phillips Collection of Early Bedford County, Tennessee 

Records by Judy Henley Phillips and Linda Shanklin Jackson." 1998. Currently 

out of print.
