Knox County, Tennessee
Genealogy & History

 A proud member of the TNGenWeb Project 

Knox County is located in East Tennessee, one of the state's three" Grand Divisions".  It was created 1792 from Greene and Hawkins counties.    Knox County was named in honor of Henry Knox (1750-1806),  American Revolutionary War artillery commander, one of the founders of the Society of the Cincinnati and first U.S. secretary of war. Knoxville is the county seat of Knox County.

We are Rose-Anne Cunningham Bray and Billie R. McNamara , co-coordinators for the Knox County  website.
