King James I granted a new charter to the Virginia Company of London, expanding its jurisdiction along the coast to 200 miles north and south of Point Comfort (c. 37 degrees north latitude), and extending westward and northwestward to the Pacific Ocean. Included all of present Tennessee. (Paullin, pl. 42; Swindler, 10:24-36; Van Zandt, 92)

24 March 1662/1663

[24 March 1662/1663] King Charles II created Carolina from earlier range of Virginia territory and granted it as a proprietary colony to eight of his supporters. Limits were: on the north, the north end of Lucke Island and the parallel of 36 degrees north latitude; on the west, the Pacific Ocean; and on the south, the St. Mary's River and, from that river westward, the parallel of 31 degrees north latitude. Included southern portion of present Tennessee. (Swindler, 7:357-358)

30 June 1665

King Charles II granted a new charter to the proprietors of Carolina, expanding its jurisdiction north and south. New boundaries were: on the north, a line from the north end of the Currituck River westward to "Wyonoak" Creek and thence due west along the parallel of 36 degrees, 30 minutes north latitude; on the west the Pacific Ocean; and on the south, the parallel of 29 degrees north latitude. Included all of present Tennessee. (Swindler, 7:375)

10 February 1763

Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Years' War between Great Britain (the victor) and France and Spain, implicitly set the Mississippi River as the new western limit for the British colonies, including North Carolina, whose charter bounds had technically extended to the Pacific Ocean and included present Tennessee. (Cappon, Petchenik, and Long, 1)

5 July 1776

Washington District petitioned North Carolina for annexation after first appealing to Virginia. In November 1776 four delegates from Washington District attended the North Carolina constitutional convention.

(Folmsbee, Corlew, and Mitchell, 61; Williams, Samuel C., Tennessee during the Revolutionary War, 17-23)

18 December 1776

First constitution of North Carolina asserted its claim to the Tennessee country all the way to the Mississippi River. (Swindler, 7:403)

1775-1776

[1775-1776] Settlers in Carters Valley and the North Holston area of present Tennessee (then North Carolina) believed they were located in Virginia and put themselves first under the authority of FINCASTLE (Va.), and after 31 December 1776, under WASHINGTON (Va.). Settlers in present Tennessee south of the Holston River organized Washington District; no clear boundaries were defined [not mapped]. (Cappon, Petchenik, and Long, 16, 89; Folmsbee, Corlew, and Mitchell, 60-61; Williams, Samuel C., Tennessee during the Revolutionary War, 15-18)

24 December 1777

WASHINGTON created by North Carolina from Washington District and non-county area; included all of present Tennessee and part of North Carolina. Residents in North Holston and Carters Valley settlements (in present Tennessee) still considered themselves part of WASHINGTON (Va.); the precise location of the boundary between WASHINGTON and Virginia was not demarcated. (N.C. St. Recs., 24:ch. 31/pp. 141-142)

10 November 1779

SULLIVAN created by North Carolina from WASHINGTON; western limit not defined. North Holston and Carters Valley settlements came under the control of SULLIVAN. Precise location of boundary between North Carolina and Virginia remained in dispute. (N.C. St. Recs., 24:ch. 29/pp. 300-302)

WASHINGTON lost to creation of SULLIVAN. (N.C. St. Recs., 24:ch. 29/pp. 300-302)

[September 1779-March 1780] Commissioners from North Carolina and Virginia surveyed the boundary between the two states from Steep Rock Creek, near the present North Carolina-Tennessee line, west to the Tennessee River Disagreements over the correct course resulted in two competing survey lines running a little over two miles apart. North Carolina commissioners ran their line only to Cumberland Gap; Virginia commissioners continued on to the Tennessee River The Virginia-Tennessee boundary remained in dispute until 1803. (Paullin, 81, pl. 99A; Sames, 14, 41)

(Parry, 48:481, 487, 491-492; Van Zandt, 12)

19 April 1784

North Carolina ceded to the United States its charter claims to territory west of the Smoky Mountain ridge (present Tennessee), but repealed the cession in November of the same year.

29 July 1784

Spain claimed most of the southwestern United States (north of west Florida, east of the Mississippi River, south of the Tennessee and Hiwassee Rivers, and west of the Flint River), including part of present Tennessee, based upon the conquest of West Florida and the lower Mississippi during the War of the American Revolution. The United States insisted upon the parallel of 31 degrees north latitude, specified in its 1783 peace treaty with Great Britain, as its southern boundary. Neither side actually controlled the interior. (Cappon, Petchenik, and Long, 14, 74, 87; Whitaker, facing 68)

31 August 1784

Encouraged by the U.S. Ordinance of 1784, which held out the promise of new states being established west of the Appalachian Mountains, delegates from GREENE, SULLIVAN, and WASHINGTON gathered in convention at Jonesborough and declared their intention to compensate for the loss of jurisdiction by North Carolina by forming a new state and petitioning Congress for admission to the Union. (Ramsey, 284-288; Williams, Samuel C., Lost State of Franklin, 29)
