The family moved to TN but in 1816 James and his father, William, left Grainger County, TN and travelled in Kentucky and Illinios. William ended up in Madison County, Missouri but James returned to TN but I think on the western side. He isn't my direct line so I don't know quite as much about him. I do know that some of his descendants ended up in southern Missouri around Springfield. Conni Mitchell Braun >> Believe this was too early for my Elijah's brother James. According to the 1860 census of Franklin Co., AR, he was born in 1825. He was a blacksmith. On the same census, Elijah (listed as Elisha here) was born 1827 and was a farmer. Barbra
