(Disclaimer—We have tried to present this document in the most original format as possible. This wasn’t always easy, so we allowed ourselves leeway with some things…especially punctuation that made the document more difficult to read. No pertinent information has been changed, therefore, the reliability of the information remains irresolute.)

(Disclaimer2—We have placed this information on line to help the researcher. The McMinn County Historical Society and the TNLHN do not claim to hold copyright for this material. This material has also been added to and clarified beyond the original transcription. As we obtain more information page numbers and individual's names will be added.)

This electronic document was accomplished by several people, therefore, may not always appear the same. We thought it more important to get the document made available to researchers than worry about its appearance.

It is indexed according to surname and page numbers are on the top left of each page in bold print for ease of location. You may also wish to use your find feature in your word processor if one is available. Also be sure to search under any possible spelling of the name you are researching. We have seen variants in spelling of the same names.

The first pages of this document may first appear to be blank. Give your computer a moment to load these 3 jpeg files. They are maps or district information.
