Captain Say District, Madison, Georgia
Embargo C Lane was born in Georgia, as was his wife Eliza. They lived in Alabama for a short time, where their son Robert was born in about 1837. I have not found them in the 1850 census. Since they were married in 1831, Robert as probably not their first child. Since he named one son Columbus, perhaps Embargo's middle initial C stands for the name Columbus.
He moved his family to Texas from Alabama sometime between the birth of Robert in Alabama about 1839 and the birth of Embargo Junior in Texas in about 1843. Columbus was enumerated in the 1860 census under his middle name Lafayette at 4 months of age. He appears to have been born in Panola County, Texas, where the census was taken.

Ages are all out of whack from one census to the other. Either the family or the enumerator was not paying any attention to ages. By the numbers reported, Embargo gains only 7 years between the censuses of 1860 and 1870, Elizabeth 8, Mary 5, daughter Elizabeth 8. Jasper and Lafayette match pretty well with a move from 6 to 15 and 4 months to 10 years respectively.
I cannot match Daniel B age 24 in 1870 to anyone reported in 1860. Daniel matches no 1860 child by name, but he is born in Texas, and is closest to Embargo in 1860. There is a 3 year shortfall, but otherwise in the sequence, Embargo matches. Three years difference is closer than some of the other children. The middle initial of Daniel B may be for Embargo; maybe the enumerator heard it as "Bargo," or maybe that was a nickname.
This family was also enumerated twice in the same location by the same enumerator, 10 days apart. But the neighbors are different, and it is the same enumerator, so maybe they owned two farms close to each other. The one reported here was 10 days before the one reported above, which I found first. Here Lafayette is reported as Columbus and the daughter Elizabeth is not here as in the one 10 days later. Note that the names vary some, and the ages vary from the other 1870 census as well as from the 1860 census. It is like they were just guessing on ages. Talbot/Talbert and Mary are two years younger than reported in the other listing just 10 days later. And somewhat different forms of the names are recorded.
