TN? What office holds them? What is the fee for birth certificates? My great-grandfather Jacob Henry Smith was born in Hawkins Co. TN sometime between 1832-35. However, the only documentation I have on him is when he got married in Greene Co. TN on 17 Feb 1858. to a Nancy Bennett. Jacobs name was also on my grandfather's William Lewis Smith death certificate of 10 Feb 1940 in Greene Co. TN. which list Jacobs birthplace as Hawkins Co. TN. I will appreciate any info as to where I may get Jacob Henry Smith birth certificate. Are there any genealogical libraries in Hawkins Co. TN. I have been in contact with Greene Co. TN genealogical library and they provided me with Jacobs marriage cert. and my grandfather's William Lewis death and marriage certs for his 3 wifes. GW Agnew Columbus, OH
