You are correct in his location being on the Roane Co. line -- District 7 was the in the north west corner of Meigs on the TN River. District 8 is the north east corner. In the 1880 census, James C. Mathews and Lindley Mathews are on the same page as Talton (7-16-104). Lindley even had a son named "Talton". ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
