Yes would love to hear anything else you have. The person I'm looking for is my gr gr grandpa William Leon Acuff(born 1842 died 1898). He was a traveling preacher with either the Christian Church(Disciples of Christ) or the Church of Christ. The only census records i can find him in is the 1880 Census. He married Sarah McElroy in 1871. I'm told that they met when he was holding a meeting in 1869 at Antioch Church and I've been in search of where that Antioch church is. I figure it can't be far from the area where he finally settled and where his in laws were from as I can't find him with his parents in any census records. He settled in Van Buren Co. TN so I've been searching all of Middle TN area for Antioch Churches and trying to narrow them down by date of establishment and denomination. Thanks for anything you can tell me.
