Fentress was created in 1823 out of Overton and Morgan Counties and was named for James Fentress, Speaker of the House of Representatives for five consecutive terms from 1814-1823. This combination of the 1830,1840 and 1850 census gives a twenty year picture of early development of the county. Each of the census give different information. The 1830 and 1840 primarily give only the names of the head of the household with other by sex/age only. In the 1840, there is a line item for the pensioners of the American Revolution and the War of 1812 shown on the second page of each of the records. The 1850 is the first census to give the names of all those living within the household.
