I understood the question about recognizing anyone on the 1820 Census to be a retorical one, but thanks Lisa for submitting this information. I had searched this census before and missed a name, John Tounsend. I know it's important to search alternate spellings but somehow I missed him, looking for Townsend. I'm pretty sure this is my man, and that he was still alive in Jones County in 1820! Thanks again. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
