Description
Book Synopsis: From 1769, when William Bean established his residence at one of Daniel Boone's old hunting camps, until 1796, when Tennessee was admitted to the Union, the population of Tennessee swelled to more than 77,000. These pioneer settlers -- of largely Scots-Irish, German, English, French Huguenot, Cherokee, African, and Welsh origin -- were part of the first great westward movement. First Families of Tennessee is a tribute to those men and women who established the state. The listing of ancestors represents pioneer families, preachers, Indian traders, long hunters, statesmen, missionaries, land speculators, surveyors, widows, orphans, heroes, and rascals.
The information for this book was gleaned from the work of thousands of people who researched their families, many for the first time. More than 12,000 charter members of First Families of Tennessee established direct lines of descent from pioneer ancestors who settled in Tennessee before it became a state.
