Now, I am looking at his death certificate and I find my grandfathers parents Jacob Henry & Nancy Jane Bennett Smith listed. I never knew who my grandpa's parents were until now. I got a marriage certificate from Greene Co. TN on Nancy Bennett who married Jacob Henry on 17 Nov 1858 in Greene Co. TN. Jacob listed his home as Hawkins Co. TN. But, I have hit a dead end with that. Maybe, his parents were not from Hawkins but Sullivan. I understand that those counties were formed off of NC, which became Washington, than Greene than Sullivan. Any info or guidance on this will be greatly appreciated. George W. Agnew Columbus, OH
