There is a William Tackett, b 1809, in KY census, also that I do not believe is the same William Tackett. "My" William Tackett was born in NC and migrated from there after 1860, eventually ending up in MO. I believe the William Tackett, b 1809, KY, is son of William "Preacher Billy" Tackett, b NC. I believe that there were two William Tacketts, b 1809, but could be wrong. Will check some more.
