Yes, I, too, have several families missing in 1850, the only census on which my great-grandmother would have been with her family. She married in 1853. I have read that census line by line several times, and they just aren't there. John H. Tabor (Tabour in 1840), wife Nancy, and children. There are about eight neighbors in 1840 who are missing totally in 1850. Southern Division of Marshall County, Joseph Mosby's division, in 1840 shows Hugh Pipkin, Edw. C. Owen, John Keelv (?), J.R. Jones, J.H.H. McRie, Sam'l Stokes, and James Porter, neighbors who cannot be found on the 1850 census. The Tabors are back on the 1860 census, Holly Springs, page 1, family 2. I've checked bordering Tennessee counties, MS counties, and they just are not there that I can find. They were buying and selling property during this time. If anyone can help, I'd be so grateful.

Do you know of any connection between Eli Jones and the Bogard or Travis family? While in Benton Co. doing research several years ago, I came across research papers from a woman who had died in the 1980's. She was searching a connection between the two families. Alexander Anderson Bogard married Susan Travis about 1839 in TN. They moved to Tippah Co. MS in 1840's. The Mt. Zion cemetery has Jones and Bogards buried there.
