Revolutionary War Materials at the Tennessee State Library and Archives

By

In Local History & Information, Military Records, Research Repositories & Contacts, Revolutionary War History

This collection highlights a time when the area that is now the state of Tennessee was land claimed by North Carolina. White settlers and their African-American slaves moved into Upper East Tennessee in the 1770s and established their own government, the Watauga Association. By so doing, these settlers clearly defied British authority which had forbidden settlement west of the Appalachian Mountain Chain in the Proclamation of 1763. Fiercely independent, these Overmountain folk and their like-minded kin in Southwest Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and Western North and South Carolina, collectively referred to as the Southern Backcountry, had little use for distant colonial governments dominated by the British or wealthy planters.

In Civil War History, Maps & Gazetteers, Research Repositories & Contacts

Maps are invaluable components of historical and genealogical research, and documentary records often cannot be fully understood without referring to maps. The Library & Archives has the largest and most significant collection of historical maps in the state available for public use.  TSLA hopes to increase utilization of this tremendous research resource by digitizing original manuscript maps and making them available online. These digitized maps appear in the JPEG2000 format, which means that you may view them in greater detail by using the Zoom tool and Expanded View option to navigate to a particular area of the image. We will continue to add maps to this digital online collection to bring more of them to a wider public.

The collection includes historical maps from a variety of sources, Civil War maps, and interesting collections such as the US Postal Service Rural Free Delivery maps for each county.

Bledsoe County Veterans of World War I

By

On January 11, 2022

In Individuals & Families, Military Records

The data contained in this site was taken from Record Group 36, the compiled service records of soldiers and sailors who served in the First World War from Tennessee. Information on individual servicemen and women came from the files of Major Rutledge Smith, Chairman of the National Council of Defense for Tennessee, World War I; from the office of the Adjutant General of Tennessee, 1933-1937; and from the report of the Provost Marshal General to the Secretary of War, 1917-1918.

The records were compiled pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution No. 76, Public Acts of 1919, and were received and stored by the Tennessee State Library and Archives in accordance with Chapter No. 301, Public Acts of 1937. They also include information about those who were killed in service. Further information about their deaths can be found in the Gold Star records at the State Library and Archives.

The fields show–in order from left to right–the serviceman’s name, age or year of birth, birthplace, notes, and page number in the original volume. The data is arranged by county. It should be noted that additional information regarding the soldier’s rank, training, dates of service, discharge, etc. can be obtained from the microfilmed records in Record Group 36.

Copies of an individual service record, as well as copies and searches of other World War I collections, can be ordered from TSLA. Please click here for instructions for ordering military records by mail.

Errors in the military records are not uncommon; it may be the case of a simple spelling error or misheard information. The information in the WWI listings is given as it appears on the original record. While we cannot change the information on the record, names which may be spelled incorrectly will be marked with a question mark (?) .

The index that follows is not a “complete” list of all Tennesseans who served in World War I. Individuals from Tennessee who enlisted in other states are not included. Only those soldiers whose names appear in the compiled service records (Record Group 36) are included in the following list.

The East Tennessee History Center in downtown Knoxville has a wealth of resources for Bledsoe County researchers.

McClung Collection

The Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection (click here) is Central East Tennessee’s premier research repository with

  • More than 75,000 books
  • More than 3,000 printed genealogies
  • More than 15,000 folders of First Families of Tennessee materials
  • Genealogical manuscript holdings that have been processed for research use — this is an incredible compilation of original documents and research deposited there by individuals over the course of decades
  • More than 19,000 rolls of microfilm including census records, state and local government records, newspapers, and other valuable primary source material
  • Subscriptions to web-based genealogical databases
  • Significant holdings of historic maps, photographs, and manuscripts  

The Special Collections include

  • Manuscripts, photographs, and newspapers — those not on microfilm are NOT available during evening and weekend hours, except by prior arrangement with the manager of the McClung Collection.

Knox County Archives

The archives receive, process, and preserve the non-current, permanent records created by county government since 1792.
 
Click here to visit the Archives’ Web site.

The Knox County Archives provides information on the origins and history of the court systems, court records, genealogy, and history of Knox County, Tennessee. The Archives provides public access to all holdings, with the exception of juvenile records and those restricted by Tennessee laws. It provides local government source material to court officials, genealogists, legal professionals, historians, and the general public.

Hamilton District Superior Court of Law and Equity

Of particular importance to Bledsoe County researchers, the records of the Hamilton District Court are housed in the Knox County Archives.  The early Superior Courts of Law and Equity of Tennessee were tasked with handling criminal matters and cases of relatively high dollar value, generally greater than $50. In this way, they were “superior” to the County Courts that adjudicated matters less than $50. The Superior Court also served as an appellate court. They were held in five districts and existed from 1793–1809 with the Hamilton District Superior Court sitting in Knoxville and serving the middle East Tennessee region. The records of this court are held at the Knox County Archives and the surviving cases are indexed here.

Its audio collection includes vintage radio programming, sound recordings, and oral histories and field recordings from the region, which date back to the 1930s.
 
Some of the iconic programming(link is external) preserved by TAMIS includes the early television shows of Cas Walker(link is external), 1982 World’s Fair(link is external) footage, and Jim Thompson’s 1915 home movies of the Great Smoky Mountains(link is external), which helped spawn the National Park movement.

Defunct Options; Data Remains Available On-line

Over the years, several options for researchers to post family and local history inquires have existed.  Many of those systems are now defunct, but the data remain available.  Other sites remain on-line.  The predominance of social media groups has caused other on-line options to wither.  Some links are provided for those who wish to dig through the archives.
