Transcription of petitions of citizens to the Tennessee General Assembly (legislative body) for private and public acts from approximately 1801-1870.

Images from microfilm.

TN State Library & Archives created an index to primary petitioners' names, locations, and subjects. That index is at https://sos.tn.gov/tsla/guides/tennessee-legislative-petitions

Update

01/30/2022: We have made a few changes to the transcription fields as we've reviewed the wonderful work our volunteers have done! Thank you!

Reminder

Please type what you see. If you need to explain something, use the Transcriber's Comments field for individual names, or use the Notes and Questions blocks at the bottom of a page to explain something in the text block.
