The Tennessee Conservative [By Paula Gomes] –
Jackie Murphy is running for reelection as Register of Deeds for Wilson County. Murphy does not claim to be a politician but a servant. “I am a simple, hard-working woman who loves serving and helping the citizens of Wilson County.”
A lifelong resident of Wilson County, she attended Mount Juliet High School and was an FFA member and officer. Murphy says, “I worked all during high school and attended Vol State Community College at night. I have worked continuously all my life. Between raising cattle, showing horses, stripping tobacco and working in hay, hard work isn’t a stranger to me.”
At the Wilson County Conservative Republican meeting on Saturday, Murphy confessed that despite her well put together attire, she is “a Tomboy” and one of her favorite pastimes is drag racing.

In the last 3 years as Register of Deeds, Murphy has implemented a successful fraud alert program and a Thank a Veteran program. In addition to upgrading the technology of the office, Murphy says, “We have gotten all deeds, greenbelts, charters, and plats in the system. Which means they are available online.”
Murphy sees her position as an important one to county citizens, saying “Nearly every citizen will invest in real property at some point in their lives. Most of the time it will be the largest investment these citizens ever make. Therefore, the integrity of these records as far back as 1796 is extremely important. I take pride in the work that we do and the office I represent. My name is on the door of the Register of Deeds and it’s because of you, the people [of Wilson County] who put me here. I work for you and I will never forget that.”
