From Llewellyn Traces re Jackson County, Alabama:

I'm only guessing (too early to "think") that probably this Charles was a son of Daniel who settled in Anderson County, Tennessee. Daniel was (again from memory) from Prince Edward County, Virginia, and MAY have been a brother of Anderson's.
And then we have this from an old angelfire website. However, this was posted years ago and I don't believe he would be a son of Anderson's because Anderson didn't go to Tennessee by 1790.

wrote this post!! There is a huge amount of misinformation being collected, especially on ancestry.com, I have been researching through records to try and connect Daniel's parents. I am unsure if Charles was a son of Daniel or of John. The guardianship records pose further questions, why was Joseph Minor guardian? He was married to Mary Lewallen daughter of Daniel's brother John Lewallen b 1788 N.C. d. 1860 Fackler, Jackson, Alabama. I have more to share on this line, I am hoping someone can help.

Jennifer, unfortunately, once something's posted on Ancestry or any other genealogical site, it's hard to make corrections. And generally someone else has read the post and used the same information. Much of what we believed years ago have been proven to be wrong through subsequent research and through DNA tests.
Have you contacted Clete Ramsey? If I'm not mistaken, he descends from the Jackson County, Alabama, family.
Take a look at this site (scroll down to Jackson County)
