Ancestry.com is only one small place to look for records anc believe it or not there are millions of records out there that aren't on Ancestry.There are many other websites out there and also many other places to find records.You do, however, have to take the time to order records.If your ancestor was in the Sp-Am war, I would suggest ordering his military records from NARA.Quite often those military records have all sorts of good information. You mentioned Oklahoma, North Carolina and Tennessee in your original message.I would look at the state archives, which are online, and see what online databases those archives haveand also what documents could be ordered from any of those archives that might be helpful to you.
