Tennessee did not legally require birth certificates
until 1916.
Births before that time are usually recorded in churches
and bible records. Your next source would be to look at tombstone
and cemetery records. And, sometimes military records could help. Tennessee
was originally part of North Carolina. It was also "The State of
Franklin".

Where did we come from? It is a question that has
haunted the entire history of humanity. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors
sought to answer the question. Today, we are still struggling with the same
question - only today we seek to answer this mystery.

IF YOU WERE BORN BEFORE 1945
Celebrate
WE ARE SURVIVORS!
Consider the changes we have witnessed:
We were born before television, before polio shots,
frozen foods, Xerox, plastic. contact lenses, Frisbees and the Pill.
We were born before credit cards, split atoms, laser
beams and ball point pens; before pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers,
electric blankets, air conditioners in our homes, drip-dry clothes and before
man walked on the moon.
We got married first and then lived
together. How quaint can you be?
In our time, closets were for clothes, not for
"coming out of." Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not
Volkswagons. Designer jeans were scheming girls named Jean or Jeanne. and having
a meaningful relationship meant getting along well with our cousins.
We
thought that fast food was what you ate during Lent, and Outer Space was the
back of the Paramount Theater.
We were before house husbands, gay rights, computer
dating, dual careers and commuter marriages. We were before daycare centers,
group therapy and nursing homes. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks,
electric typewriters. artificial hearts, word processors, yogurt. and guys
wearing earrings. For us time sharing means togetherness - not computers or
condominiums : a "chip" meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hardware and
software wasn't even a word
In 1940, "made in Japan" meant junk and the term
"making out" referred to how you did on your exam. Pizzas, "McDonald's" and
instant coffee were unheard of.
We hit the scene when there were 5 and 10 cent
stores, where you bought things for five and ten cents. Nau's or Bray &
Jordan sold ice cream cones for a nickel or a dime. For one nickel you could
ride a bus, make a phone call, buy Pepsi or enough stamps to mail one letter and
two postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600.00, but who could afford
one ; a pity too, because gas was 11 cents a gallon
In our day smoking was fashionable. Grass was mowed,
Coke was a cold drink, and Pot was something you cooked in. Rock Music was a
Grandma's lullaby and Aids were helpers in the Principal's office.
We were certainly not before the differences between
the sexes was discovered, but we were surely before the sex change; we made due
with what we had. And we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think
that you needed a husband to have a baby
No wonder we were so confused and there is such a generation gap
today
BUT WE SURVIVED!
What better reason to celebrate?
