  • Notes 
    • Joseph apparently lived in Giles County, Tennessee since he returned a report on the accounts of Joanna Smith, his ward, in that county, Giles County Court Minutes, 1830-1839, p. 128.

      Even though Joseph supposedly did not die until 1873 or later, he doesn't appear in the 1870 census.
