Sadly, Kathy McKown died 6 Nov 2002. She will be sorely missed.
Sullivan Co, TN (then still NC) was established in 1779, primarily from Washington Co, TN (then NC), although part of Sullivan, including the “North of Holston” and Carter Valley Settlements, was considered part of Virginia, and Tennesseans taxed by Old Fincastle, Montgomery and Washington Cos VA rather than by NC. (See Shelby's Fort and SQUABBLE STATE) In 1784, the ill-fated State of Franklin was created (records now mostly lost and/or duplicated in TN county records), and in 1787, Hawkins County was created from the majority of Sullivan's territory (and then some). In 1790, NC ceded it's “western lands” and TN became part of the “Territory South of the Ohio River”, which it remained until 1796 and statehood. Sullivan Co TN remained generally the same (land) from 1787 to the present time. Sullivan is due west of Johnson Co, TN.
