• 1860 Census for Henry County, Tennessee shows Reuben Bedwell, 24, a farmer, as head of household with: Tennessee, 17, a spinster; Mary J., 1; and Rufus M., 6 (because he is listed out of age order, and because he is too old to be the son of Reuben and Tennessee Bedwell, it seems likely that Rufus is living with the family because his own parents are deceased or otherwise unable to care for him... perhaps he is the son of Reuben's older brother James?). They live next to Reuben's mother and sisters.
