http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/archives/on_sale.htm#tenn Tennessee Records in the North Carolina State Archives There are very few original records in the North Carolina State Archives which can be identified as specifically related to the area ceded in 1790 and which became Tennessee in 1796. For the most part, these records consist of lists of militia officers, justices of the peace, land grants, land entries, various petitions, correspondence, reports, bills, and acts of the General Assembly. These series are incomplete, and none of them is indexed by name or subject. In 1959, the State Archivist of Tennessee, Mr. Robert T. Quarles Jr., made a search of the Governor's Papers, Governor's Letter Books, and Legislative Papers, 1778-1789, in the North Carolina State Archives. Microfilm was made of records in these groups which relate to Tennessee, as identified by Mr. Quarles. Copies of this film are available to researchers in the Tennessee State Archives, Nashville, and in the North Carolina State Archives [microfilm call numbers S.50.2 and S.50.3]. In addition to the above, the North Carolina State Archives has purchased microfilm copies of some other records which are now located in various courthouses in Tennessee or in the Tennessee State Archives. Both the original and the microfilmed records are listed in the following bibliography. For clarity and brevity in this Information Circular, a short citation is used to reference the material. Please refer to the Bibliographic Legend below to determine the full citation for the material.
