Sandra- I have been in contact with AL Douglas, a decendant of Larkin or associated families in some way. Anyways, I know where Larkin went to in Illinois. Today, it would take about hour and a half to two hrs to get there, which would spell several days journey by horse, etc. It is more than just a county or two away, and they wouldnt even be anywhere near close in the census. In the 1830 census of Johnson County, IL, where my great great grandfather Anderson settled, there were not any other Douglasses listed for many years. Even his surviving son, which I decend from and have a good line on did not appear himself until 1850. So, from 1830 to 1850, there are no Douglasses even within one day's travel by methods of the day. Furthermore, if you factor in that prior to 1850, Johnson was the second largest county in the area, it rules out the possibility of any of his relatives even being in the same county as he was. Present day Johnson county was eventually broken into like ! 6 or 7 present day counties. The White County area, which Larkin and group landed was still more than one county away when Johnson was enormous in size. Furthermore, we have nothing more than suppositions at this point to connect the two....one common name, which unfortunately isn't much of a link--yet!

Well, here is the problem. My Anderson moved to Illinois by 1830. He shows up on the 1830 census for Johnson County, IL. Unfortunately both he and Elizabeth died by 1834. So, the Elizabeth you have in 1850 is not her, as she had already been deceased nearly 20 years. As for who their ancestors are and where they may have come from, that's anybody's guess. I do not know, nor have any idea. That is what i am attempting to discover. The other Douglasses on the 1820 census sould be relatives of some sort, but I have no records or other information to connect them. Honestly, Anderson had been a subject of mystery for nearly 200 years in my family, until I discovered him in Smith county in 1820. However, now the mystery is just bigger!!!! In order to figure out this new mystery, I need to find birth or marriage certificates, or perhaps a family bible to be able to crack the riddle that i now have before me. The pre-1820 censuses for Tennessee or virtually non-existent, so they are of no help. I really need to get in touch with someone very familiar with smith county and has access to their local records. At this point, i am very skeptical whether or not I will even be able to solve the mystery of who Anderson and Elizabeth's parents were. Additionally, on the question of where Elizabeth came from, that is anybody's guess also, as we have never had a maiden name. I had hoped that the smith county connection could perhaps help shed some light on all of the unasnwered questions.

Hello, I am trying to match Barney Lane b. 1818 with a family in Smith County. There is a Danl. H. Lane listed in the 1830 census with 2 sons between 10-15 - which matches. However, I don't find any Lane's in the 1840 census. Does anyone know what happened to this Danl Lane? more info - In later cenus' Barney always reported being born in Ky. But he married Mary Jane Crostick - daughter of Sherrod Crostick who lived and died in Smith County. Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

That's very possible. When the census takers went around, they asked for the head of the household and family members. If your relatives were visiting someone, they probably were missed.

I was just into the Smith county census and I am really puzzled. I see Craigheads in 1820, in 1830 there is not a one listed, then they are back in 1840( I think that year is when it is spelled Cragett) Anyone have any idea what happened to all of them in 1840?

I am trying to find out any available information on Anderson Douglass who is on the 1820 census for Smith CO TN. I believe his birth to have been from 1794-1800. His wife, Elizabeth's(no maiden name known) birth would have been in the same range from 1794-1800. Additionally, he had two sons at the time he lived there, their names being William and Jackson. William would have been born abt 1816. Jackson would have been born abt 1818. It could be possible that some record of their births may exist. Also, Anderson's marriage could have taken place in Smith county and a record be there for that also, but I am unsure of any date of the marriage. Any information is greatly appreciated.
