{"title":"Tennessee: Rhea County","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"101-w0468","title":"Rhea County, Tennessee Circuit Court Minutes, September 1815-March 1836","description":"\u003cp\u003eRhea County, on the banks of the Tennessee River, was created in 1807 from Roane County. In 1819, Hamilton County was cut from Rhea. Rhea County was a stopping point for families intending to settle, travelers spending a season of two before heading west, and renters hoping eventually to buy their own farms. A dearth of material about early Rhea County makes these circuit court minutes useful to genealogists. Besides the names of residents and transients, names of people in other counties and other states appear in the minutes. The information in this volume has been abstracted from microfilm of the handwritten minute books. Typically, each session begins by naming the presiding judge, sheriff, deputy and jurors. This is followed by the cases in order of their appearance, with names of plaintiffs, defendants and witnesses. Most of the cases involve unpaid leases, but other business includes deeds, divorces, powers of attorney and criminal offences. Records are presented in chronological order; and the text includes an every-name index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarol Wells\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1994), 2010, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 180 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788404689\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-W0468\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":767766200336,"sku":"101-W0468","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-w0468-1500px.png?v=1777308919"},{"product_id":"101-w0554","title":"Rhea County, Tennessee Tax Lists, 1832-1834 and County Court Minutes, Volume D, 1829-1834","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecords of this type help genealogists place their ancestors in the context of historical events as well as the social environment in which they lived. Other kinds of research books (county histories, wills, etc.) contain only a few of the names that appear in county court minutes. Names of persons who can be found in no other records, persons of no wealth of land, persons never mentioned in a will, persons never sued, might readily be found in county court minutes, because the county justices kept order in most aspects of everyday life. County courts of pleas and quarter sessions were held in the early years in this country. Court duties were so varied that most persons were mentioned from time to time as they went about their ordinary lives. These courts oversaw care of indigents, orphans, insane, illegitimate babies, apprentices and other persons needing public assistance, and they regulated care and discipline of slaves. They licensed certain occupations such as tavern keepers, ferry operators, water mill operators and inspectors of various sorts, and they appointed overseers of public roads. They paid bounties for wolves and other predators killed. The court appointed juries to lay out or change the placement of roads, and made sure roads and bridges were kept in good condition. They passed taxes to aid the poor, keep up public buildings, meet state requirements and operate courts. Courts granted emancipation when conditions were in conformity with state law. Deeds, depositions, wills and other documents were proven and recorded. Administrators were appointed for estates of intestates and wills in which no executor was named. Names of jurymen and witnesses are listed. Public order was kept by bringing to trial those accused of Sabbath breaking, gambling, profane swearing, horse thievery and other such offenses. Suits were brought forth, and local disputes were settled. This book contains an everyname index.

The records, some 11,000 of them, span the period from 1778 to 1911 and bear reference to apprenticeships created in the following Tennessee counties: Anderson, Bledsoe, Blount, Bradley, Campbell, Carter, Claiborne, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins, Jefferson, Johnson, Knox, Loudon, Marion, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Scott, Sequatchie, Sevier, Sullivan, Union, and Washington.

Then there was Meigs' desire to give the Cherokee more than just a hand out, he introduced to them weaving, black smithing, and other enterprises to help the Cherokee make a living while living in close proximity to the white culture.
