Is there anyone who can shed some light on what might have happened (natural disaster, epidemic, family feuds, etc.) in Knox Co. between 1820 & 1830? I have been reading the posts of today, and notice more than once, a researcher has commented on the disappearance of different families after the 1820 census. I realize migration had something to do with this situation, BUT when 2 families (mine) just disappear completely, not to be found anywhere else in 1830 or later, I can't help but wonder if something in the history of Knox Co. might have been responsible. Elijah Bibbins had 400 acres on Laurel Creek, but he "lost it" somehow, in about 1822, and does not show up in later Laurel Co. records or census. Thus my quandary. Thanks for any assistance! Eleanor
