Cocke County, Tennessee
Signers to 1845 Petition

These signers were asking the Tennessee General Assembly for the appointment of a commissioner to move the county seat because Newport was off the main road, was surrounded by barren land, would get flooded streets when it rained, and had rough roads. The petition was submitted in 1845. Visit the TSLA web site HERE for more information. Below are the names of those who signed the petition, in alphabetical order.
