I know this will sound crazy, but do any of you have trouble trying to find families in the 1870 census? I have at least five different families that are in Bradley Co. in 1860 and are still there in 1880, but cannot locate them in 1870. I know this was during the reconstruction period and strange things happened, but five families? I do know lots of folks went to Texas during this time, quite a few folks were killed in regard to martial law etc., but I still want to know if any of you have come across this same thing.
