Not listed his family in Louisiana on the 1850 census, but listed as an 11 year old in 1860, born in Tennessee. This should be resolved. Perhaps he is a nephew, and not a son? Or may one of both census records were in error. He may have simply been accidentally omitted in 1850, or born late in 1850 in Louisiana, and shown in error as born earlier in Tennesse in 1860.
