Tennessee General Assembly − Senate Introduction – Territorial Assembly –
One – Hundredth Sixth Assembly
One-thousand seven hundred sixty-four (1,764) men and women have served in the
Tennessee General Assembly as state senator. The last comprehensive list of Members
of the Tennessee General Assembly was published in 1890, in the book Official and
Political Manual of the State of Tennessee by Charles A. Miller. This Manual listed
Members of the Tennessee General Assembly State Senators and Representatives from
the Territorial General Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) and the First General
Assembly (March 28, 1796) thru Forty-seventh General Assembly which adjourned
September 21, 1891 on pages 197 – 248.
Listed is every Senator of the Tennessee General Assembly from the Territorial General
Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) to the One Hundredth –Sixth General
Assembly which adjourned June 10, 2010. I have also found most members of the
elusive Tenth General Assembly (1813 – 1815 because there was no printed or written
Senate Journal found) in the book Messages of the Governors of Tennessee volume 1,
1796 – 1821 by Robert H. White.
Listed at the beginning of each General Assembly is the number of that Assembly, the
city where the Assembly was convened, dates convened for regular and special sessions,
dates of adjournment of all sessions, the Speaker of the Senate, and the Chief Clerk if
known. Also listed is the General Assembly if it was known by a special name
(Territorial General Assembly − 1794, Confederate General Assembly – 1861and
Brownlow/Reconstruction Legislature – 1865).
Special notes are listed for the following General Assemblies:
Thirty-Fourth General Assembly (Reconstruction Assembly 1865) – First Assembly to
divide the counties by legislative districts and numbers
Forty-Third General Assembly – (1883) – First Senate Assembly to have thirty-three
members as comprises the present day Senate
Forty-Fifth General Assembly – (1887) – First Assembly to list political party affiliations
Sixty-Second General Assembly – (1921) – First General Assembly with ninety-five
counties. James County abolished 1919, and the first woman elected to the Tennessee
General Assembly – Senate (Anna L. Worley – Sullivan and Hawkins Counties)
Eighty-Sixth General Assembly – (1969) – First African–Americans elected to the State
Senate (Avon N. Williams, Jr. – Davidson County and James O. Patterson, Jr. – Shelby
County)
Ninety-Seventh General Assembly – (1991) – First African–American woman elected to
the State Senate (Thelma Harper – Davidson County)
iii
If a state senator died in office or resigned I have tried to note this date and the date his or
her replacement was elected or appointed to office. Despite extensive research the
following counties Senators could not be found (Benton – 23rd; Carter – 10th;
Cumberland – 37th; Dickson – 17th; Jackson – 10th; Lake – 40th; Obion – 40th; Overton
– 10th; Union – 37th; and Van Buren – 29th)
