State of Franklin Petitioners
1787

Names below are from North Carolina State Records, Vol. 22, pp. 705-714. These residents of the State of Franklin petitioned for release from all obiligations, taxations, and duties to the North Carolina state government, which was still claiming and attempting to govern this area. The State of Franklin stretched from Shelby's Station (Bristol), east to Sycamore Shoals (Elizabethton), southwest to White's Fort (Knoxville), and southeast to Ft. Loudoun (Little Tennessee River).
