Montgomery County Genealogy Records

Montgomery County was organized in 1796 when the western portion of Tennessee County, which since 1790 had been part of the Territory South of the River Ohio, became part of the new state of Tennessee. The Southwest Territory was created in 1790 when North Carolina ceded its western lands to the Federal government. The eastern portion of old Tennessee County was, at the same time Montgomery County was formed, combined with land taken from Sumner County to form Robertson County, Tennessee. Later acts of the Tennessee General Assembly had further reduced Montgomery County by 1871 to its current size and boundaries.
