I emailed you directly but it went to your spam folder. Decatur Co. TN became a county in 1845. Before 1845, Decatur Co was part of Perry Co. From your query, you probably should be looking at Perry Co. TN, i.e., marriage, deed, tax records.

The mother is listed as an Alcy-Alsy-Alsey and she may have been a Stewart. She is shown being born in TN @ 1812/14, she married an Edward Long he is shown to be born @ 1810 in Alabama. Alcy may have previously been married to another Long. The children were: Elizabeth b: 1833 She married a Mathews; James b: 1835; Polly b:1842, Catherine b:1844 she married a Bournam and then a Spradling, I believe; Solomon b:1845. They left the area prior to the 1850 census.
