Records of the County or Quarterly Court are available for Blount county, for varying years. These records are often not indexed. County Court minutes contain information about estates, guardianships, small court cases and routine county business matters.
There were known fires at the Blount County courthouse in 1879 & 1934. The County Clerks office also had a fire prior to 1869 which destroyed the probate records. The recreated 1869 Will Book 1 was Blount County’s attempt to furnish a new record of these wills which was done by James A. Greer.
In using these court room records do not overlook the miscellaneous court records from 1796-1834 as they provide a treasure trove of information on early Blount County residents.
