 File — Box: 1, Folder: 5
From the Collection:

The material contains information about Fort Loudoun, TN and discusses the archaeological research that occurred there. The items from the mid to late 1900s consist of the research that was a part of the reconstruction. These items contain information about possible original layouts of the fort, and the natural resources surrounding the areas as of this time. The undated “Fort Loudoun Research Book” was presumably created around this time as well, and the index cards provide information on resources and specimens found around the Fort Loudoun area. The documents dated from the 1700s and 1800s provide information about the ownership of property in Knox County, TN around these times. More specifically, the Knox County court document and land deed were written regarding the Kern Estate in Knox County and the court document was signed by Colonel Francis A. Ramsey of Knoxville.
