My ggrandfather was born in what is now Obion County in 1815 -- where should I be looking for records of that time before Obion County was formed? His name was James McCoy and he was born at Jacksonville (which I believe is now South Fulton) in 1815. I'm trying to find out who James' parents were but am not sure where I should be searching for this information. Thanks for any tips on where to look.
