History[edit | edit source]

President James Monroe (1758-1831)

The county is named after President James Monroe (1758-1831).[2]

Parent County[edit | edit source]

1819--Monroe County was established 13 November 1819 from Cherokee Indian Lands.
County seat: Madisonville [3]

County Pronunciation[edit | edit source]

Hear it spoken[4]

Boundary Changes[edit | edit source]

"Rotating Formation Tennessee County Boundary Maps" (1777-1985) may be viewed for free at the My Tennessee Genealogy website. They rely on AniMap 3.0 software.

Record Loss[edit | edit source]

1860--Civil War damaged records

  • Lost censuses: 1820, 1890
  • Lack of marriage records: 1819 to 1837
  • Lost probate: 1819 to 1835

Although these are not burned records, applying strategies used for burned counties may aid in compensating for their loss. For further information on researching in burned counties, see the following:

Cemeteries[edit | edit source]

Tennessee cemetery records often identify birth, death, relationship, and military information, as well as religious affiliation.


  • Find A Grave can be searched by the name of a person or family to find where a person is buried.  Usually gives birth and death dates often with a picture of the tombstone.  May give obituaries, names of family members and links to their information in Find A Grave.

Census[edit | edit source]

1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 federal population censuses of Monroe County are available online. For tips on accessing census records online, see Tennessee Census. If you're having trouble finding your ancestors in online indexes, try checking printed indexes. Created by local experts familiar with the area's families, these indexes are often transcribed more accurately than nationwide online indexes.

See Tennessee Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book for more information about statewide printed indexes.

See Monroe TN census assignments, including links to transcribed files. [The USGenWeb Census Project®].
