There is an A. J. Epley enumerated in the 1860 census for coffee county, Tn in the familysearch.org database. unfortunately the site links it to fold3.com to which I do not have a subscription so I cannot read the original. The transcription says only that he is 28 years old in the 10th district and he is from North Carolina. Also the same site offers a picture of Andrew Epley and Cynthia Greensby kissamedeadly - Coffee
