I have a missing link in the family history. His name is William Rowland, he is found in the 1840 Census of Marshall Co., MS and later, and family information states that he and his family were in Bedford or Rutherford Co., TN, prior to that time. William was born about 1785 in NC. He was married into the Burleson family. His wife was Eleanor H. Burleson. I have reason to believe they were in TN by 1820. Would some one mind checking the 1820 and 1830 Census records for him and his family members. I would be much abliged! Ron Hughes
