S." is his mother Frances as seen in the 1870 census below. Edward M. Magness is father of Calvin Harris Magness as seen below in the 1860 census. "J. W." is John W. as seen in the 1860 AR census below. "S. J." is Susan who married a Bailey and moved to AR (or maybe married in AR) where her child Tennessee (female) was born. Susan's husband died and she moved in with her mother as seen in the 1870 census below. In this 1850 census it seems the move of Z. C. and Frances from TN to KY was between 1831 and 1833, because Edward M. was born in abt 1831 in TN (Williamson Co., TN probably) and his sister Susan J. was born in KY in abt. 1833. By the time of the 1860 census Z. C. and Frances Magness had moved to AR also and at least some of their children moved with them. Among those who moved was Susan as stated above. Z.C. is not found in the census after the 1860 AR census. Edward did not move with them, but stayed in Calloway Co., KY. I can't get the 1840 census listing for the whole family, but "Zachariah Magnus" is listed in the 1840 index as head of household and living in Calloway Co., KY. This has to be Z. C. Magness. Going back in time to the 1830 census a Zachariah Magness is listed in Williamson Co., TN and none other by that name or any variation in TN, and there is none by that name in KY in 1830. Zachariah probably married there in Williamson Co., TN also. It seems in 1830 there were only 3 Magness heads of household in TN. Perry Green Magness was in Warren Co., TN in 1830, and Joriah Magness was in Hardeman Co., TN. ____________________________ 1860 census of Murray, Calloway Co., KY, page 281 A: 739/739 Magness, E.

Frances Magness will be their mother and has returned from AR with her daughter. In 1880 Calvin Harris (spelled "Harass" below) Magness stated Susan Bailey was his widowed aunt living with him. So, she is sister of Calvin Harris Magness's father, Edward. Since Susan is living with "Harass" in 1880, Frances Magness would be dead by 1880, and Frances Magness is not in the 1880 census. Given the time frame that Susan's husband would have died, he might have died as a result of the Civil War. ___________________________ 1880 Brinkley Precinct 4, Calloway Co., KY, page 569 D: 162/164 Magness, Harass W M 21 single farming KY TN KY Bailey, Susan J.
