Begun in 1996 to celebrate Tennessee’s Bicentennial, the First Families of Bledsoe County Project was so successful the Bledsoe County Historical & Genealogical Society decided to continue the project indefinitely.
Those submitting applications by the December 31, 1996, deadline are considered charter members. County Historian Miss Elizabeth Robnett published a book on the First Families Project. Click here for catalogue information.
First Families of Bledsoe County membership is open to anyone who can prove descent from a man or woman living in Bledsoe County at the time it became a county in 1807. Proof submitted will be placed in the Bledsoe County Public Library and will become a legacy for future generations and researchers.
