Re: MELVEL WELBORN - Madison County, IN

1850 Rush Co., Ind Census, 97th Dist., p.427, 7 Sept:
at 775, 777 :
Andrew Gilliam, 64, m, Laborer, $1900, $__, NC.
Susanna Gilliam, 58, f, Ohio.
And. J. Gilliam, 18, m, Ind (sic).
..................................
At 711, 713, of above cited census, is :
Wm. Gilliam, 27, Carpenter, NC.
Mary" , 27, Tenn.
..................................
I am assuming that this William Gilliam may be the older brother of Andrew J. Gilliam, and provides a reason for Andrew J. to move to Madison Co., Ind. :
1860 Madison Co., Ind Census, Monroe Twp, p.175, P.O. Alexandria, at 1232, 1232 :

Mary Gilliam, 37, f, Tenn.
Mary E. Gilliam, 7, f, Ind.
Ella Gilliam, 4, f, Ind.
Lucretia Gilliam, 2, f, Ind.
..................................
(I have not found Andrew J. anywhere in 1860.)
..................................
This William Gilliam moved to Arkansas after 1868 and before 1880. (He's not in Monroe Twp in 1870, tho.)
