See later enumerations for Judith in Notes for W Edwin Padgett.

Judith listed in the 1870 census as Juliah, age 36. This matches theage reported in the 1880 census, age 46 to yield a birth year of 1834. These ages indicate a birth year of 1834, so it seems best to followthis, though sources of allied families use a later date in theirgenealogies.

I have followed specific birth information on Judy which I found inthe LDS FamilySearch online information:
JUDITH N. MCSWAIN
Birth:14 JUL 1834, Rutherford, North Carolina
Death: 28 AUG 1897

In 1870 the family, along with Edwin's parents and family, are inCocke County, Tennessee. We know their first daughter was born inArkansas in 1871. It is not clear exactly when they left NorthCarolina and arrived in Tennessee. Their second son John P, age 3, isreported as born in North Carolina. So they were in Tennessee noearlier than 1867.

Incidentally, they are found in Cocke County, with a Newport (countyseat) post office address. This is the town where most of thechildren of Orville's great-grandfather Dock Patrick Gregory wereborn. Dock and Julia Ann Clementine (Strange) Gregory lived justacross the border in Jefferson County, and perhaps in Cocke Countypart of the time before they moved to Oklahoma about 1895.
