Thanks Sharon, however the Sevier county line isn't my line. Eli's son Levi, and grandson, Levi Asbury went from New Jersey, to North Carolina, to South Carolina, and then eventually to Georgia. Now the first Levi does seem to go to Tennessee at some point, but it's his son Levi Asbury that my line descends from and they don't go to Tenn. With using the same names, it becomes very confusing.
