Halbert family of Lincoln County, Tenn., including John Halbert (fl. 1820s-1860s) and his brother James (b. 1771?), planters of Lincoln County. The Halbert family was linked to the Satterfield family, also of Lincoln County, through the marriage of Laura Satterfield, daughter of physician Benjamin M. Satterfield (b. 1834), to Isaac Buchanan Halbert.

Financial and legal materials, notebooks, clippings, and other materials relating to the Halbert and Satterfield families of Lincoln County, Tenn. Halbert papers, 1814-1865, are chiefly related to brothers John and James Halbert, who were planters, and include an 1865 letter from John to James's son, Pleasant Halbert (1811-1895), accounts, estate papers, wills, and tax receipts. Satterfield papers, 1853-1893, relate chiefly to physician, Benjamin M. Satterfield, who appears to have specialized in obstetrics, and include materials relating to Satterfield's medical practice in Lafayette and Lincoln County, Tenn.; his service as surgeon in the 25th Tennessee Regiment during the Civil War; his political involvement after medical discharge from service; and his activities in the Masons. There is also a small amount of material relating to other Satterfield family members.
