1840 U.S. Census:
Location: Huntingdon, Carroll, Tennessee, USA
Notes: In 1840 there is another Martin Dill living in Greenville, SC. And another in Wellfleet, MA. It goes without saying that the one in Carroll County is our Martin. Still, since Martin was born in South Carolina, the other Martin Dill may be a relation. Martin is between 30 and 40 years, matching the 1804 birth year. His oldest child is a son 10 to 15 years old. Then there are 3 younger daughters, presumably Elizabeth, Eliza, Sarah.
