Tree on ancestry says his father is Elisha Lunsford of NC, but never shows Elisha living in Tennessee (even after it split from North Carolina in 1796). Did the NC/TN boundaries change again after 1796 so that Joel was born in the part of North Carolina that became Tennessee? I got confused when the articles started talking about the state of Franklin.
