The Christlieb database gives the death of Lemuel as 1851 in Maury Co TN - but where was he in 1840 and 1850?

There is a grave marker pictured on FindAGrave in the Walters Cemetery, LaFollette, Campbell County, Tennesse with only names and no dates. It is being attached to this Lemuel, but it is NOT this man
WALTERS
Father LEMUEL
Mother ELIZABETH
This is Lemuel Walters who married Elizabeth Oaks and lived in Campbell Co - other members of his family are buried in this cemetery. Campbell is across the state from Maury.


DEATH: info from 18__ Widows' Pension application No. 2706, certificate dated March 06, 1872. Widow was Elizabeth. His service was in Capt. Samuel Carter's Co, VA, Militia. [It's not certain this is the correct Lemuel Walters. For one thing it did state his death as 1851. There was also a Lemuel Walters, son of Obediah & Abigail McBee who was born 1803, Grainger Co TN, died in Campbell Co as above, and a Lemuel Sylvester Walters, born 17 Nov 1795 in Person Co NC who married three times to Sally Turner, Elizabeth Isaacs, and Sarah E. Smith. This may also be the Lemuel S. Walters from Person Co.]
Another War of 1812 Pension application is for soldier, Lemuel S. Walters, SO #27905. He was a Private, Capt Joseph Clay's Co, 10th U.S. Infantry. This one is Lemuel Sylvester Walters of Person Co NC (died in Texas). He is also listed in a database of U.S. Army enlistments, Ancestry.com as being from Person Co NC, enlisting 11 Aug 1813 in Danville, VA under Capt Clay - noted as having deserted on 30 Aug 1815 from Camp on the Ohio River.
