I'm doing some genealogy research and not being from Tennessee I'm finding a discrepancy in some documents that's confusing me.

I'm researching a branch of my family that lived in Stewart County, Tennessee around 1850. The man in question was born in 1838. Now, I've used pilot.familysearch.org to find records, but I haven't found an actual visual record, just a record of what someone else wrote down from the original document.

Two otherwise identical records list my guy as being born alternately in Henry, Tennessee and Stewart, Tennessee. A lot of times in genealogy they will leave out a particular city and just list the county if they're not sure. So, while Stewart clearly stands for the county, I'm wondering if there has ever been a town settlement named Henry in Stewart County?

I'm aware that Fort Henry stood there during the Civil War, but did a community named Henry exist prior to the war?

Thanks for any insight!
