Tennessee General Assembly − Senate Introduction – Individual Counties
Beginning with Anderson County and ending with Wilson County, Tennessee, I have
listed the state senator who represented that county. Despite extensive research the
following counties General Assembly Senators could not be found (Benton – 23rd; Carter
– 10th; Cumberland – 37th; Dickson – 17th; Jackson – 10th; Lake – 40th; Obion – 40th;
Overton – 10th; Union – 37th; and Van Buren – 29th).
Each county listing has the state senator who represented that county, General Assembly,
years of service and beginning with the Forty-Fifth General Assembly (1887), the
political party if known is listed. If a State Senator died in office or resigned I have tried
to note this date and the date his or her replacement was elected or appointed to office.
The web link to the Acts of Tennessee as to formation of a county is given along with the
common abbreviation used for that county, except for Tennessee County which does not
have an abbreviation.

TENNESSEE COUNTY – 1790 − 1796
Tennessee County was organized in 1788 from a portion of Davidson County. It was abolished
in 1796 when Tennessee (which by then was no longer a North Carolina territory, having been
ceded to the federal government as the U.S. Territory South of the River Ohio) was admitted
to statehood and the county's name was adopted for the entire state. At the time of statehood,
the lands formerly included in Tennessee County were divided into Montgomery and
Robertson counties.
