Based on the following census records I am speculating that the wife of Arch MIGHT BE Martha Neil: 1860 Marshall County, Tennessee, Dist 5/Belfast PO, 4 June 1860, pg. 41B/8 (8 image 8): 57/58 James Neil, 53, m, Farmer, $/$400, NC Lively, 55, f, NC Wm R., 23, m, Brickmaker, TN Martha J., 17, f, house work, TN Harvey C., 16, m, Farm hand, TN Note1: Martha J is the correct age to be the wife of Arch and this is the family that possibly shows her son George F. living with in 1870. Note2: 56/57 James R. Neil, 49, m, Farmer, $12,500/$12,500, TN, wife Matilda, 42, f, TN; children Mary, Henry, Tennessee, Saml Lucinda, Josephine, Joseph--could be brother of James Neil??? 1870 Marshall County, Tennessee, 5th District/Lewisburg PO, 19 July 1870, pg. 57A/1 (image 1): 5/5 Nell, James, 63, m, w, Farm Laborer, NC Lively, 64, f, keeping house, NC McCool, George, 7, m, w, TN Note: This could be George's mother's parents!
