Between the time of the Indian removal in 1836 and the Civil War in 1861-1865 was a period of great migration through the counties of east Tennessee. These county court records will reflect many of those immigrants who passed through with some event in their lives. Some of them purchased land for a short time, some died and had their estates probated here, many left orphans and many other events are recorded here.
