Sullivan County, located on the Virginia border in upper east Tennessee, is one of the older counties in the state being first named in North Carolina as a county. These deeds reflect the time when the territory was known as “The Territory South of the River Ohio” and “The State of Franklin” as well as North Carolina and finally Tennessee in 1796. Many of these deeds are also recorded in Staunton, Virginia county seat of Augusta County as Virginia considered its territory to include all of the lands north of the Holston River.
