The Jefferson County TNGenWeb site went "live" in the first week of July, 1996. Since that time, thousands of genealogists and historians have stopped by to gather information about their families and the communities.

Many of them left information for other researchers. If you have transcribed data to share, please contact the Webmistress (e-mail from the Contact Us link in the menu). Additionally, check the "Help Wanted" page to see what transcription projects are on-going.

The Tennessee Legislature enacted a requirement for each county to lay off civil districts in 1835.  Until that time, residents were grouped by company under militia officers.

In 1997, Billie McNamara started a mailing list, called DumplinTN, primarily for Jefferson and Sevier County researchers. Discussions also include Jefferson County's parents (Hawkins and Greene, pre-1792) and other children (Cocke, Hamblen, and part of Blount).
