During the time that these tax lists were made, county governments were organized into militia companies
instead of into districts. Court members were selected from the companies and a tax collector from
each company was responsible for collecting the taxes from the members of the company. Roane County
included all of the present Morgan County and large areas of the present counties of Fentress, Cumberland,
Scott and Pickett. The northern boundry was the Kentucky line. It is quite obvious that the scattered
settlers in the remote parts of the county were ignored. It it known that there were settlers on Wolf Creek
and Brimstone, as well as several other places, yet none of them appear on the tax rolls.
