1 female age 40-49 He lived in District 4, Greene County, Tennessee in 1840.557 A Conrad Voils was also listed in District 4, from 1837-1841 and in 1847, as well as a John Voyles from 1835-1839. Henry Voiles, b. about 1795 also lived in this same District and was listed on earlier tax rolls, but was not listed after 1832, although he was listed in the 1840 census.

The only other reference to a Conrad Voiles that I have found was in connection with a letter at the post office in Roane County, TN, addressed to Conrad or Ransom Voiles. From what I know about Ransom Voiles, he was living in Anderson County in 1836, and moved to Roane County in 1837, before fleeing Roane County in 1840 after getting in trouble with the authorities. He later resurfaced in Kentucky with a new wife.
