I am looking for information on my 2nd great-grandfather. He was married to Susan Spradling/Spradlin in Knox County, Tennessee in 1847. They resided in Miser Station, Friendsville, Tennessee. They made trips between there and North Carolina. My great-grandfather was born in North Carolina but resided in Miser Station. I believe there may be ties to the Underground Railroad and the Quaker Community as far as I can tell. My 2nd great was not in either Union or Confederate Army during the war. I find this unusual given the time and location of their homestead. Any info that would shed light would be greatly appreciated. I cannot find any records before a marriage certificate in 1847,
