Born ABOUT 1796-1800.

William S Manson is listed in the 1830 census in jefferson County and there is also a William Manson 70-80 years of age on the neighboring farm (his father)

William S Manson IS listed on the 1840 census as about 40-50 years old with 4 sons, 3 daughters and a wife of the same age as he.

By 1850 he is no longer in jefferson County, but his son William T Manson is in neighboring Grainger County married with a child.

I am searching for information about William S Manson who his wife is, who their children are, who they married? I RECEIVED A copy of a handwritten court record dated 1840 signed by him as a Justice of the Peace in jefferson County.

He is not listed in jefferson County for 1820 census. where did he come from?
