Providence Baptist Church Petition (1833)

Posted on by

This petition was found by the late Earl Arnett of Columbus, Ohio in 1984 at the Tennessee State Archives and Library. He copies it and submitted a copy to the Wayne County Historical Society. Providence Baptist Church was the “mother church” of Memorial and Indian Creek Baptist Churches. Providence Baptist Church was active from before 1833 until 1909 when the church split; some of the members went to Memorial Church, while others started the Indian Creek Baptist Church at Three Churches. The petition and affixed names and signatures follow.

[Editor’s Note: Most of the signatures from #173 – #226 appear to be in the same handwriting, as are several other sets throughout the petition. Although there are no personal marks given, it would appear that someone signed for those who could not write. In the left hand margin of the second page of the petition is written the word “unreasonable”. At the end of the list of petitioners is written “Petition of the Citizens of Wayne County praying relief in Certain Caseses. H. Repres. 5 Aug 1822. Ref’d to Com’ee Prop & Grievances, T. HAMPADE, Clk. BURNS.” The last “Burns” is in reference to Representative William BURNS from Wayne County.]

Petition To Establish Wayne County (1819)

Posted on by

submitted by: Edgar D. Byler, III; input by Jerry W. Murphy

The following petition was submitted to the Tennessee State Legislature in 1819 by the people living in the area currently comprising Wayne and Hardin Counties. The original petition is on file at the Tennessee State Library and Archives and is available on microfilm roll number 6, Legislature Petitions. The petition is copied here in its entirety. There are 228 signatures appended to the petition. I have attempted to decipher them as best I could; some are completely unreadable and some have ink blots covering part of the signature. The copy of this petition has been placed in the Wayne County Room at the Wayne County Public Library for further research.

To the Honourable General Assembly of the State of Tennessee Gentlemen (Greetings) the undersigners, Inhabitants residing in part of the lands purchased of the Chickasaw Indians & within the bounds of your State beg leave to report to your honourable body that as citizens of [crossed out] we feel ourselves bound to Obey conform to & abide by the laws of our country & for the want of such, we labour under a considerable inconvenience. Therefore we pray the interference of your body to [this word may be realize or could also be release] the many greviences that may arise for the want of laws both civil and military by making a new county within the following bounds (viz) Beginning at the south west corner of Lawrence County, & to run with the west boundary of said County North Eighteen miles, then a due west course to Tennessee River, then up the meador of said river to the South boundary of the State of Tennessee, then with said boundary East to the beginning we beg leave to represent to your body that the above bounds contain land enough to make a consititional County, we will ever pray &c 1819.

[In the microfilm copy, this page is repeated. Written on the back of the page are comments relating to the work of the Assembly. Only part of these annotations can be read. It appears the petition was received 23 Sept 1819. The remainder is unreadable. The remaining eight pages of the petition are the appended signatures. It is interesting to note that many of the signatures are for people who were in the area which later became Hardin County.]
