Terry, there is conflicting information in this whole line - the SAPP line and the ANDERSON - and so far, much of what I have heard is totally undocumented. Though I do very much treasure family stories, you know how I am about documentation. Though the stories all have Samuel in Bryce's in Tuscaloosa, some have him going there as an old man, and some have him going soon after the civil war. According to my database, he married again in 1874, there in Blount, so I tend to (at this point until I get info to the contrary) go with his granddaughter's report of him going to Bryce's as an old man - she did, after all, know him. Unfortunately, that does not point him out on a census ANYWHERE - the only one I can find him on is the 1850, as a 12yo with his mother, in Cherokee county, GA. Maybe he had mental issues resulting from the war and Dorinda's mother's death and hid from the census taker - I have no idea. If it were only on one census I could understand him missing - but he lived to be an old man - why is he apparently not on ANY of them? Frankly do not remember whether I got these death certificates or not - surely I did - but will request them if not - thank you!! Re: your Madison DOVER - do you know if he belonged to any of those DOVER families who were in that area in 1850? As always, your insight and expertise are much appreciated, Terry - you are SUPER!!
