William and Margaret were in Yalobusha Co. MS in the 1850 census. Margaret was daughter of John Shepherd Lamb and Susannah Methvin. When Susannah's father Levi Methvin passed away, Susannah was already dead so her father's will mentions her heirs and they appeared in court and deed records.
Madison County Alabama Deed Book Y. P. 503, 3 Jan. 1848 has:
“Isaac Merryman and wife Rhoda, son-in-law and daughter of Levi Methvin dec’d of Crofford Co. Ark., to James S. Methvin, land of said Levi Methvin. Acknowledged in Crawford Co. Ark. (Deeds from other Methvin heirs; Hiram Law [Lam] and wife Anna (dau.); William Campbell and wife Levinia (dau.); Lorenzo D. Towry and wife Elizabeth (dau.); Joseph Kirk and wife Polly, Samuel Kirk and wife Sarah (dau.); heirs at law of Susannah Lamb, a daughter: viz Joel Stinson and wife Martha Ann, John Lamb, Nancy Goodner, William Cannon and wife Margaret; and from Levi Methvin, son of Levi Methvin dec’d of Madison Co. AL.”
Deed Book Y, p. 504. 26 Jan. 1849 has:
"Hiram Lam and wife Anna who was the son in law and daughter and heir of Levi Methvin dec=d of Jackson County, Ala., to James S. Methvin of Madison Co., quit claim to all interest in 160 acres being S-1/2 SE 1/4 Sec. 11 and N 2 NE 1/4 Sec. 14 being the same of which Levi Methvin late of Madison Co., Ala., died siezed and possessed. Eli Woodward, witness; acknowledged before Wm. R. Fowler, J.P., Madison Co., Ala."
Madison County Alabama Deed Book Y. P. 511, 19 Feb. 1850 has:
"John Lamb, Joel Stinson and wife Martha Ann, Nancy Goodner, William Cannon and wife Margaret, who are the heirs of Susannah Lamb dec=d who was daughter and heir of Levi Methvin dec=d, to James S. Methvin: S-1/2 SE-1/4 Sec. 11 and N-1/2 NE-1/4 Sec. 14 T2 R2 E, of which said Levi Methvin died possessed. William R. Fowler, J.P., says >personally appeared John Lamb, and also Joel Stinson and wife Martha Ann, Nancy Goodner, William Cannon and wife Margaret by their attorney in fact Joseph Rice...= and made acknowledgement."
I have been told that the probate records for Levi Methvin show that Susannah's children Nancy and Margaret had their families in Yalobusha Co. MS at the time of the probate. I can't remember where I got the information that William and Margaret were married 9 Mar 1846 in Yalobusha Co. MS...."
**********
CONCLUSION: The 1850 census reveals the only age-approximate son of William and Margaret was named George M.
