Jefferson County's First Settlers

Details
Category: Families & Individuals

The first recorded settlers arrived in present-day Jefferson County in 1783.  Those who established homesteads were men renowned in the early history of Tennessee.  Early pioneers include

William Bradshaw   Ninian Chamberlain   Joseph Copeland
William Cox   Samuel Cox   George Doherty
Frederick Fulkerson   Robert Gentry   William Goforth
Rev. Robert Henderson   James Hill   James Hubbard
Thomas Jarnagin   Hugh Kelso   Robert McFarland
Alexander McMillin   Adam Meek   John Mills
William Moore   Alexander Outlaw   Adam Peck
James Randolph   Richard Rankin   James Roddy(e)
Thomas Snoddy   Thomas Stockton   Parmenas Taylor
Matthew Wallace   Wesley White   George Willcoxon

It is likely that some early families, including the Burchfiels and Russells, were living in the Cherokee territory south of the French Broad River at the time the first settlers arrived in present-day Jefferson County.  No records have been found to substantiate their arrival in the county.
