Hi Marge

Lanson and Elizabeth (Wayne County-1860) are my GG Grand Parents. Oldest son, William, born in Missouri, 1851.

There is my stone wall.

Alanson (Lincoln County-1850) is the same age, in right location and name is close. But is this the same individual?

Is it possible that Alanson (TN) is married with a son (Mariah & Alfred)in 1850 and in Wayne County with spouse and a son (Elizabeth & William)by 1851? Many very dramatic events within a short period of time.

I am searching for more info before I tie these two families together.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
