HI Nell & Jean and others interested: The Tenn River bends around into ALABAMA not Arkansas and runs north across TN. Benton is on the west bank of the river across from Humphrys co , Houston Co, and Stewart co,Henry is north ,Carroll co west and Decatur co and Henderson Co is to its south. These countys all have related anscesters to each other as they married across county lines and bought, traded, and sold land between them.gabbie At 01:24 PM 2/8/2000 EST, you wrote: >Nell: > > Benton County, TN is on the west side of the Tennessee River after it >bends around into Arkansas & up into TN - Humphreys County is directly across >the river from Benton to the East, Henry County to the North, Carroll to the >West, and Decatur to the South. > > Hope this is helpful.
