HENRY G. McCORD was born August 12, 1847, in Williamson County, and is of
Scotch-Irish descent. He received the rudiments of his education in the
common schools and subsequently attended Cumberland University, and
graduated from the literary department in 1873. He taught school for about
three years, and then turned his attention to agricultural pursuits. In
1877 he married Lillie V. Ogilvie, who was born May 13, 1856. The fruits of
this union were five children: Marks W., Harris O., Manella M., Joseph C.
and Chamilla S. In 1864 Mr. McCord went out in Company C, Eleventh
Tennessee Cavalry, Confederate Army, and served until the close of the war.
He has a good farm of 269 acres, well watered and furnished with good
buildings, and is considered a first-class farmer. He is a Democrat in
politics, and he and wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church. He is a son of Cowden and Sallie A. (Williams) McCord. The father
was born in Williamson County in 1809, and the mother was born on the farm
where Henry now lives in 1826. They were married in Marshall County in
1844, and to them were born eight children, seven of whom lived to be
grown, and six are living now. The father was a Democrat in politics, and
for one term served as magistrate. He was also a farmer and an extensive
one at that. The mother died in 1863, and in 1879 the father died also.
