I started tracking my great great grandfather, Cantrel Rodgers and in each of the census records from 1840 to 1870 his name is never spelled the same. He was in Carroll County, TN , on the same place, his children's names from 1850 till they started leaving were all the same as was his wife. 1840 he was C. B. Rogers 1850 he was Cantril B. Rodgers 1860 he was C. B. Rodgers 1870 he was Cantrel B. Rogers
