FIRST FAMILIES OF ROANE COUNTY
Fort Southwest Point DAR is sponsoring a tribute to all families who were living in what is now known as Roane County, between the years of 1797-1811. This was the period in Roane County’s history when Fort Southwest Point was a working fort. Roane County was formed in 1801. Preserving history is one of the main objectives of the DAR. Help us to preserve the history of Roane County and the history of those ancestors who founded Roane County. Persons successfully proving their heritage to an ancestor living in Roane County between the years of 1797-1811 will be presented a nice Certificate (suitable for framing) and have their name and their ancestor’s name engraved on a brass marker to be displayed on a plaque at Fort Southwest Point.
