I agree about the birthplaces, but given the correspondence of location, wife's name and middle initial, children's names and initials, I would want to see the actual image of the 1880 census. The wrong data could have been copied for b.p.'s, or the wrong person could have given the (incorrect)info to the census taker in either the 1870 or the 1880 census, probably the 1870 one. And I have seen a lot of false dittoing of b.p.'s by the census takers (assumption or laziness?). I did check and there is no Len, Leonard, or other likely L. Tucker in KY in 1870 index. Ditto for TN. On the other hand, Tucker is a frustratingly common name <sigh>. --- Acltk2@aol.com wrote: > Yes, I try to take a look at any original image > I can get my hands on. > Sometimes I can make out two or three > believable names from one entry :) > > I could buy the Levi as an alternate reading, > but it would seem unusual for > the enumerator to mistakenly write down > something as distinctive as the > sequence "Tennessee Georgia Tennessee" that was > given in 1880 for Len/Levi's place of > birth and that of his parents.
