This review is from: First Families of Tennessee: A Register of Early Settlers and Their Present-Day Descendants (Hardcover)

A "must have" for researchers! A valuable reference volume featuring the names of 2,200 of the state's first residents(as registered by their descendants),with birth and death dates and places, names of spouses, date and county of first settlement, and proof of residence. Also contains a register of First Families of Tennessee members, spouse index, selected photos of First Family of Tennessee ancestors and descendants, history of Tennessee from the earliest settlement to statehood, maps of Tennessee county creations, 1777-1796, listing of all Tennessee Counties with creation dates and parent counties. More than 450 pages, hardbound, with dust jacket.

The book is a culmination of the First Families of Tennessee (FFT)bicentennial project started by the East Tennessee Historical Society in 1992 to recognize the state's early residents and to identify their descendants.
