Yes, Americans were on the move back then.

Andrew Jackson was born in South (or North) Carolina, but he became a Tennesseean. James K. Polk was a North Carolinian who moved to Tennessee. Thomas Hart Benton was another Tarheel who moved to Tennessee and then to Missouri where he was elected to the Senate.
