Acts of 1809 (Second Session) Chapter 20

SECTION 1.  That the line which divides the county of Roane from the counties of Rhea and Bledsoe, shall begin on the north bank of Tennessee river, of the mouth of White’s creek; thence up White’s creek, as it meanders, to the place where the road leading from Knoxville to Nashville, crosses the main fork of said White’s creek; thence north, forty west, to the Overton county line.  Provided, nothing in this act contained, shall be so construed as to preclude the sheriff of Roane county from collecting the state, county and poor tax, due in that part of Rhea and Bledsoe counties, which is east and north of the line described in the before recited act, for the year one thousand eight hundred and nine.
