There are all kinds of strange stories that we can find in this imperfect study of our ancestors. I have a child who appears on the 1830 Roane Co census in the right age group and correctly as the only son at that time, but not on subsequent ones. There is a TVA record of a grave with the name of this child having been moved at one time. Yet, despite not being listed on this family census records or any other Roane Co records, he appears as if by miracle as an adult, naming the right person as his father, fathering children of his own and then dying (again??) at a ripe old age. And no...his name was not Lazarus <g> Audrae Mathis
