GGF J. James McLellan 1864-1908

Since the US does not have a State sponsored religion, and since individual states and within them, counties, have always had responsibility for vital record keeping, it is very unusual to find these records prior to the late 1890s and early 1800s.
Here is a sentence from a site that lists where to obtain records in Tennessee: Few births and deaths were recorded by civil authorities before 1908. You may find some information on pre-1908 births and deaths in genealogies, histories, church and Bible records, and collections of personal papers. (emphasis mine).
Sorry, but that is the way it is.

Hi can anyone help in tracing a birth record for one of my family born in Tennessee in 1839. Possibly Brownsville? Although I am unsure. Mary Ann Todd was born there according to ship immigration records from my GGGrandfather. He was William Todd Born 1810 in Durham England and his wife Ann was born in Essex England in 1806. They went to the U.S. sometime after 1835 and before 1839 and left prior to 1841 where they are shown on the England census.
