TENNESSEE MAP

The following map is of Tennessee in the early to mid 1800's. The area that I am trying to concentrate on for our family line is Henderson and Lawrence County. There were portions of these counties that in later years became new counties. I have outlined the counties that I am referring to.

The bottom left portion of Henderson County became Chester County. The first to the right became Decatur and second to right became the later boundaries of Perry County. The top left corner of Lawrence County became Lewis County.

This info is important in the fact that, at times it appears that families moved to different counties when in fact the counties themselves changed and our ancestors never even moved.
