Abstract

Biographical/Historical Note
The Bank of the State of Tennessee was chartered in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1811 with capital holdings amounting to $400,000. It opened for business on November 30, 1812 with Hugh Lawson White as president. When White resigned after his election to the United States Senate in 1827, the Board of Directors opted to liquidate the bank. The process was apparently complete by 1831.

This collection consists of a single folder.
