Billie Harris - Apr 3, 2011
I've extracted what we have for the different counties in Tennessee mentioning a Charles Lewallen/Lewellyn/Lewellyn. Note, some of these Charles fellows have middle initials and although there could be mistakes in the translation, it is worth noting those initials.

(Note: Per Bill Crawford)
by 1860, Charles 18 ( b. abt 1842), Susan 14 , and Richard 27 were living in the Weaver household in St. Francis, Arkansas.
CBR (Carol Redd) believes that Mary Weaver in whose home they were living is obviously their older sister, Mary Luallen b 1848 TN
