OK. State Plane Coordinates are not the same as latitude and
longitude. They are a separate coordinate system like UTM. I thought
that it was just a different earth model optimized for the local area.
It is in this definition for srid 2204:
"+proj=lcc +lat_1=35.25 +lat_2=36.41666666666666
+lat_0=34.66666666666666 +lon_0=-86 +x_0=609601.2192024384
+y_0=30480.06096012192 +ellps=clrk66 +datum=NAD27
+to_meter=0.3048006096012192 +no_defs
So Transform probably gives correct values. I had the wrong srid for my
data.

I think UTMs are offset to be postive, but transforming is not going to

On another note you have a typo - I think you meant to say 2204 is ... But
that is neither here nor there. 2204 is obviously not the right SRID for
that point.
I think your first guess 4267 is probably right.
Hope that helps,
