Thanks Ed, I will check out your site. I knew it was divided I was just never told how or what counties were in what part. So between your help & Thelma's I may just be able to figure out where (possibly) my triple great grandpa might have been from.....if I could only figure out when....that'd be helpful too LOL But first things first :) Alli > Alli, > TN is divided into three regions, West, Middle and East.
