They are there in the 1840 Claiborne County census, missing for the 1850, and then they show up in the Union County census for 1860. My theory is that the section of Claiborne County that formed into Union was missed for the 1850 census. This again is just a theory. I have hunted for these families everywhere, using various spelling variations and I cannot locate any of them. It wouldn't be such an issue if it was just one family &/or surname but that isn't the case for me. Would like to know if other researchers for this area is having the same problem as I am. Thanks!
