Bledsoe County, was created in November 30, 1807 by the Act of the Legislature and named in honor of Abraham Bledsoe. These Circuit Court records give a summary of the actions of the court in the various cases that they handled. In many cases, there are more questions raised than answered because this is a summary. We always want to know more. Some of the cases that are referred to other court might be found in those courts.

Example from this volume:

“July 13, 1836 - The State vs Henry Miller - Came as well the attorney Gen’l who prosecutes in behalf of the state as the defendant in proper person who having heard the presentment read says he is guilty in manner and form as charged therein and submits to the grace and mercy of the court.

It is therefore considered by the court that for such his offence he be fined in the sum of five dollars and pay the cost of this prosecution whereupon came John Skillern and George D. Foster into court and confessed Judgement jointly with the said Defendant for the fine cost aforesaid.

It is therefore considered by the court that the state recover against the Defendant and John Skillern and George D. Foster the fine and cost aforesaid.”
