Alan,

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your help.

Yes apparently my gg grandfather moved to Blount County after the war. He is listed on the census for Henry County prior to the war and evidently moved to Blount County to be near his wife's family, the Cornelius'. His wife was the daughter of Bluford Cornelius who was the son of William Jr descended from William Cornelius of Revolutionary War. There has always been a family tradition that "Uncle Cornelius" (not sure which Cornelius) was a spy for the Confederate Army.
