In researching my McCollum ancestors at the National Archives in Washington, DC (I live nearby) I found 8 McCollum's listed from among the volunteers from VA, NC, SC and KY, including 3 from Davidson County, TN. I'd be glad to send you their names if it would help. Another source - and a vast one - for all sorts of local history and genealogical data is the Library of Congress. You can access their card catalogs by accessing their web page at http://www.lcweb.loc.gov . The Library of Congress doesn't lend out books or documents, nor do they have everything, but if you do find something that looks interesting you may be able to find it in your local library or ask your local library to get it for you if they participate in the interlibrary loan program. Good luck!
