Hello everybody, I was wondering if someone could tell me where was Agnew's Ferry located? All I have to go on is a report in the Official Records here

about a reconnaissance made by a detachment from the 5th Iowa Cavalry on 25 March 1862, the recon was launched from Fort Henry and though it doesn't say in the report where Agnew's Ferry was I am pretty sure it would have to be on the Tennessee River as it says "learned to my satisfaction that his steam ferry-boat was at some point down the river in possession of the United States forces."
Since Fort Henry was on the Tennessee River I am presuming that the "river" referred to must be the Tennessee. But beyond that I have no idea where it was. I tried calling the Fort Donelson National Park Service park office but they're closed for renovation and I just got a recording. Does anybody here live around that area and might know where Agnew's Ferry was? Many thanks in advance.
