[owoodson] or state census.
[clifford34] I will try to find them, I just cannot seem to locate their path - from Leon in Covington Co.,Alabama to around Oaky Streak in Butler Co., - Alabama
[owoodson] I am not sure that you will find a state census for the later - 1860s, but you could see if any tax records exist and see if he is in Butler - then.
