To add a little to the Bynum research, Elizabeth Timmons, daughter of Hannah and William Timmons, married Buffin Bynum on 13 January 1830 in Maury County, TN. Next to William Timmons lived Young Bynum who I assume was the father of Buffin. The 1830 census shows Young between 60-70, but I think Elizabeth and Buffin were living with her parents that first year of their marriage. It seems Buffin died before 1840 when Elizabeth and daughters Elizabeth and Frances apparently were living with William and Hannah. Daughter Elizabeth Bynum
married Joel Goad on 1 August 1849. The 1850 census has Hannah Timmons, age 76, with Elizabeth Bynum, 48, and Frances Bynum, 16, in the household (William died between 1845-1850). Separately, Joel Goad, 27, and Eliza Goad, 18, were living very close to the Timmons' families along Santa Fe Pike, a few miles northwest of Columbia.
