Bradley County Swaffords / Lee's

So I am going through all my matches again.

This time I notice another LEE family in Bradley County. This time the same city as the Millers. It wouldn't even need to be a travelling minister.

I wonder where the big breakthrough is going to come?

Anyway, this Lee family is also descended of the Swafford Lee family. This guy's name is Burrell Lee as well, though on this census record it is spelled Lea.
Name: Burrell Lee
Age: 38
Birth Year: abt 1822
Gender: Male
Birth Place: Tennessee
Home in 1860: District 10, Bradley, Tennessee

And my Miller family

Name: Mary A McMiller
[Mary A Miller] 
Age: 25
Birth Year: abt 1835
Gender: Female
Birth Place: Tennessee
Home in 1860: District 10, Bradley, Tennessee
Post Office: Cleveland

It makes me wonder if some of the researchers at Ancestry might have linked the wrong Burrell Lee to their tree....
