Description and Holding Information

1792- Journal of the House of Representatives for the State/Territory of Tennessee during General Assembly sessions (title varies), printed in
Knoxville, Nashville, etc., by various state printers. The area that is now the State of Tennessee was officially a part of North Carolina from 1777 to
1790. North Carolina ceded its lightly populated western lands {present-day Tennessee} to the United States in 1784, rescinded the cession that same year,
and then renewed it in 1788. On the second try the U.S. accepted the cession and, in an act dated 26 May 1790, made provision for what it referred to
as the “territory of the United States south of the Ohio River” to be governed by a committee vested with legislative power consisting of the
governor and any two of the three judges of the Superior Court. Provisions for an actual legislature for the territory were belated. On 19 October 1793,
Governor William Blount, issued an ordinance calling for a thirteen-member house of representatives. This body convened in Knoxville on 24 February 1794
and, in its sole action, nominated ten councilors. Five of those nominees were chosen by the president to comprise an upper house. This seminal
legislature met in two sessions; August 1794 and June 1795. The period of territorial status was unusually brief. After a census demonstrated that the total
number of free inhabitants narrowly exceeded the then threshold figure of 60,000 required for statehood, a constitutional convention was called;
meeting in January 1796. With territorial sentiment overwhelmingly in favor of statehood, Congress brought Tennessee into the union as the 16th state
effective 1 June 1796. The first session of the statehood legislature was held in March of that year. Of note, for many years the regular official reports
of various state agencies were published as an appendix to the House Journals. Of note, teh journal from the October 3-26, 1836 session is currently
missing and unavailable for scanning. (Records in the Early State Records collection were digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by
the Library of Congress, the Tennessee State Library, Massachusetts State Library, Tennessee Archives, the New York State Library, and other
sources).
