There is a series of 1836 maps for many counties that shows civil district boundaries with descriptions. The Beers Company demographic maps and the Division of Geology - Post Office series also show the configuration of civil districts at particular times. Census compendia (1870 and 1880) and descriptions of census enumeration districts (1900 and 1910) can provide communities and place-names associated with certain civil districts. All these sources must be used with caution, since civil district boundaries may shift frequently. Boundary line changes may be gleaned from the Acts of Tennessee. I know that the boundries do shift. I have a map of 1836 Greene county that shows current districts and proposed new districts. The answer to your question is probably that the number of the district around Bent Creek changed during a re-alignment. Hope this helps. Patrick
