Blount County, Tennessee, County Court Records 1808-1811

Blount County, named for the first governor of Tennessee William Blount, is located in mid-east Tennessee. These county court records are the day by day running of the county, with persons coming to court for a variety of reasons. They needed to register deeds, wills, orphans and other records of importance. There are road orders included that show persons living along a certain stretch of roads thus giving neighborhoods as they were volunteered by the court to donate "hands" to work the roads near their homes and property. People are mentioned in this for a number of reasons and all are of interest to the genealogist and historic researcher."The WPA Records are, for the most part, carbon copies of the original that was typed on onion skin paper during the Depression. Since these records were typed on poor machines by people who did not type well either or read by persons not always sure of the older handwritten material, the results are often less than perfect. ... Sometimes there are water stains and burned edges around the paper."
