Rhea County, TN Birth, Death, Marriage, Divorce Records
Dayton, the county seat of Rhea County, Tennessee, is distinguished because of the legendary Scopes Trial in 1925. In 1869 and again in 1927, two years after the trial, fires damaged some records in the courthouse, but marriage records remain intact. Requests for copies of other vital records should be directed to the state Department of Health, Office of Vital Records (http://health.state.tn.us/vr/Genealogy.htm). The office does not accept online orders; requests may be directed to an independent company VitalChek (http://www.vitalchek.com/tennessee-express-vital-records.aspx), which charges a processing fee. The Tennessee State Library and Archives (http://www.tn.gov/tsla/history/county/factrhea.htm) also maintains early county records for public use and research.Rhea County Recorder Office - Birth, Death, Marriage & Divorce Records
