you may obtain the 1870 census by going to either the USGENWEB,orTNGENWEB,or the genweb for anyother state by doing the same,you may want to start with the 1850 census, even though your relatives may not be on it...because you will ,upon comparison often find friends, relations and other family members,and the children . You should also try to find any of the many "County Histories", and Records such as Obits,Newspapers,Court records, Marriage,Birth, and Death. Good luck!!!! Remember to volunteer to transcribe documents if you can, we all need the help !!! C.L.McDowell
