I have a John Rouse living in Jackson Co., Alabama (near Hamilton Co., TN).He is listed in 1860 census as age 45 born NC.It appears his name is John Jackson because of a marriage record of Jackson Rouse and Tempy Sisk in Jackson Co., 11/29/1855.Then in 1860 census he is listed as John with wife Tempy.
It also shows children Clay 16M, Lavicy 14F, Penny 13F, Martha 10F, P.C. 8F, Jesse 6M, James 4M, Riley 10M, Jane 6F all born inAlabama.
As you note from the children ages, there must have been a prior marriage.
