Thomas E. Partlow's WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, CHANCERY COURT RECORDS 1842-1892, has the following entry which may be of some interest to you. Bill of complaint of a. B. Comer against Stephen E. Comer and his children, to wit, William, Caroline, Catherine, Elizabeth and Reuben of Arkansas; Jessie Sparkes and daughter Sophronia of Mississippi; Hall Marrs of Gibson County; and RANDAL GRISHAM and children of Arkansas. Said complainants grandfather, Hugh Marrs died in 1825. He gave his wife the use of the land during her lifetime and then to my seven girls. All seven girls are dead, having died in the lifetime of their mother. Said A. B. Comer is the only child of his mother Mahala. The defendants are the only heirs of their mothers, Martha Ann Comer and Julia Sparkes. The other four girls died without issue. 20 April 1866 (Chancery Book J, Pp. 87-101) [I can't exactly figure this out, but maybe you will have more luck.] There are some other Grissim/Grissom entries if you would be interested. I would be happy to transcribe them for you. These are not my people. I just did a lookup for you.
