Hi Jan:
I can't confirm the legal marrying age in TN. but after doing some Virginia and Kentucky research it would seem that the "legal" age was 21, BUT with the consent of parents or guardian a person could be married as young as 12. Awfully young isn't it? But true in so many cases.
I guess young people were very mature for their age in those days?? I certainly hope so if they married at 12 !
