R. Cecil Shipley research and thoughts:
"Richard Sr. paid taxes and died in Rhea County in 1819 when William was age 7.

So how was William in Sullivan County in 1835 to marry Martha Roller and then be in Hamilton County when he died in 1843?  We know the Roller family were in Sullivan and the census supports Martha being in Sullivan County after the death of William.

William would have been too young while in Sullivan County to have returned alone to Sullivan County to marry his childhood sweetheart.

Maybe Hannah returned to Sullivan County with the children after the death of Richard Sr. and then the adult sons returned to Hamilton County to marry women from Hamilton County.

What am I overlooking here.

1807 Rhea County created

1805 to 1814 the sons are born

1819 Richard Sr. paid taxes in Rhea County

February 1820 Rhea County Quarterly Court deals with the death of Richard Sr.

1820 Hamilton County created

1826 Ben marries Sarah Burkett in Hamilton County

1828 Nathan married Charlotte Campbell in Hamilton County

1834 Richard Jr. marries Julinda Windom who was born in Hamilton County

1835 William marries Martha Roller who was born in Sullivan County
