Though the censuses report he was born iin Tennessee, his Tennessee death certificate reports he was born in Georgia. The date is way different: Death certificate says born Georgia 13 Sep 1850, while 1900 census says born Tennessee August 1857! The informant on the death certificate was his son Charlie. The age in the 1910 adn 1920 censuses match the birth date reported in 1900.
