Discrepancy

Parent Discrepancy Alvis vs Sally Sally is the right age to be the parent, but not identified/proven on Census Record. From the ages and names, It is most likely this is a "family" unit, but relationships are not given - perhaps brother/sisters vs spouse/parent. Eliza St. John (spouse of David Wiser) is unlikely daughter of Alvis and more likely is a daughter of Sally and Unknown.

Transcription error in 1850 vs Digital Copy -- s/b Only 1 Eliza (b. TN) and addition of Campbell (age 3)
