The Stewart County, Tennessee Archives, a department of the Stewart County government, is the repository for the county's governmental records that are no longer housed in the courthouse. It is a research facility for genealogists and historians, as well as a resource for the county officials whose records are housed here. The Archives is staffed entirely by volunteers.
Despite a courthouse fire on August 25, 1862 during the Civil War, most of the county's records have survived. The 1862 fire destroyed the Chancery Court records, but most everything else survived. The loose records of the County Court (probate packets, marriage licenses and bonds, and wills), however, are lost. |
