1860 TN Census: Aged 39, living in Johnson co., TN at Laurel Bloomery with wife, Elizabeth (24), and 4 kids: Sampson (7); David A. (4); James W. (2); Eliza J. (1). (SV-240 & SV-1338)
It says he was born in Tenn.

1870 Johnson co., TN census: William W. Cress aged 50 (“insane”) living with Uree Cress (SV-1338) This is probably him living with Uree Cress family but age is very wrong (SV-243)
I wonder if he is living with his mother because his wife, Elizabeth, left his and married Let Stanley?
