Is this the opening paragraph for an intended novel? If so, the subject has been covered before.

You claim the subject, in this case the 1870 Granbury records, "have been covered"? Does any one of the 'Lincoln experts books' show that they have ever yet researched the 1870 census for this man? I'm still waiting for those same experts, in ANY of their books, to show the listing of Abraham Lincoln in the 1840 census. It's been 175 years now, do you think the 'published experts' may get onto that research, fairly soon?

I think the published experts have never considered the census questions you pose of any significance -- especially when working with the known facts that are pertinent to their story lines.

Please continue your investigations to see if you can prove that they missed anything. You apparently have not been able to answer your own questions through research, and don't expect anyone else to answer them for you -- to your satisfaction.

On this forum, you swat away any logical responses, change the subject quickly at the moment, and seldom give citations. Good scholars eventually get to a point where they can solidly answer their own questions or admit that they were wrong or that the evidence is not there to support their contentions.
