    TENNESSEE CIVIL AND MILITARY COMMISSIONS 1796-1976 RECORD GROUP 195 Processed by: Ted Guillaum Archival Technical Services Date Completed: 2-28-2002 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION Record Group 195, Tennessee Civil and Military Commissions, 1796-1976, contains the records of the commissions made by the governors of Tennessee. The commissions measure seven and ½ cubic feet and are recorded in 56 volumes. These records were maintained by the Secretary of State and were found to be in fair to good condition. Many of the earlier volumes required light cleaning of accumulated soot. Fifteen volumes were found to be in fragile condition and were placed in acid free boxes for their protection. Portions of these records were received from the Records Center at various times between 1973 and 1994. There are no restrictions on the use of these records. The volumes have been arranged chronologically and have been microfilmed. The original documents have been retained. SCOPE AND CONTENT Tennessee Civil and Military Commissions, 1796-1976, record the appointments by the governors of Tennessee to various positions of authority in the state. Tennessee's chief executive used commissions to confer positions of military and civil authority on various individuals. These records were kept and maintained by the Secretary of State. The commissions found in these volumes can include Military Officer, Judge, Attorney, Sheriff, Coroner, Justice of the Peace, Surveyor, Road Commissioner, Turnpike Operators, Attorney General, Solicitor General, Electors for President and Vice- President, Indian Treaty Delegates, State Boundary Line Dispute Delegates, Trustees to the Lunatic Asylum and Institution for the Blind, Inspectors of Tobacco and the Penitentiary, State Agricultural Bureau, Assayer, Superintendent of Weights and Measurers, Geologist & Mineralogist, Railroad Directors, and Bonding Regulators.

In 1790 President Washington appointed him governor of the newly formed Territory South of the River Ohio, formerly part of North Carolina. While governor, Blount was also Indian affairs superintendent and negotiated, among others, the Treaty of the Holston with the Cherokees. His new government faced formidable problems, intensified by conflicts created by European/ Indian contact. In 1795 Blount called a constitutional convention to organize the state, and Tennessee entered the Union the next year. Blount represented the new state in the U.S. Senate, and after expul- sion from that body on a conspiracy charge, served in the state Senate. He died in 1800. John Sevier 1796-1801; 1803-1809, Democratic-Republican Born in Virginia in 1745, Sevier as a young man was a successful merchant. Coming to a new settlement on the Holston River in 1773, he was one of the first white settlers of Tennessee. He was elected governor State of Tennessee of the state of Franklin at the end of the Revolutionary War and as such became the first governor in what would be Tennessee. When statehood was attained in 1796, Sevier was elected its first governor. He served six terms totaling 12 years. While governor, he negotiated with the Indian tribes to secure additional lands for the new state and opened new roads into the area to encourage settlement.

  • 1.1. Description of History
    Technical Memorandum Date October 2008 Project Tennessee State University Campus Master Plan Subject 1. History of the University 1.1 Description of History From BKV Group, Inc To Tennessee State University This is a brief history of Tennessee State University as gathered by the planning team. The objective of this work element is for the planning team and campus community to gain an understanding of TSU’s history, documenting key events that have shaped the educational and physical form of the campus as well as identifying those forces which are likely to influence its future. 1. HISTORY OF TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY Tennessee State University, founded in 1912, is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational, land-grant university located in Nashville, Tennessee. Through successive stages of growth and change during its nearly 100-year history, TSU has developed from a small normal school for Negroes to a 4 year university graduating degrees at all levels. The process of educating teachers was based on developing “norms” or standards, hence the name Normal School. With such humble beginnings and a small student body, TSU has grown to become one of the nation’s most highly respected Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) as well as a national university attracting students from 42 states and 45 countries. To its credit, TSU has accomplished this transition without losing focus on its primary mission; that being an “access” school for Tennessee’s financially challenged students; many of whom have few alternatives when seeking to gain a collegiate education. Although TSU was, until recently, considered by many students the campus of “last resort”, its recognition as a nationally ranked university and reputation for quality curriculum delivery has allowed TSU to claim it is now a campus of “first choice”.

He worked his way through school and opened a law practice in 1915, then enlisted in the Tennessee National Guard when the United States entered the First World War. He served six straight terms in Congress and with the backing of the Crump organization was elected governor in 1936. Later the two men parted ways and Crump helped defeat Browning in 1938. With support from Estes Kefauver, Browning was again elected governor in 1948, and Crump’s era of influence ended. Browning supported TVA, opposed Roosevelt’s recovery policies, pushed education, roads, tax reform and further governmental reorganization, favored a balanced budget and repealed the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting. Browning died in 1976. Source: Tennessee Blue Book, 1999-2000 Millennium Edition, page 483.
