State didn;t require births to registrated until later. I would try some of the area churchs to see if any baptism records can be located. I found some births recorded for the town of Sherman so maybe try an locate information that way. FHL website is: familysearch.org they have many town records on microfilm. Hope this little bit of information may help.
