Ellen,
I am very lucky to have volunteered at a regional National
Archive site. As I combed so many reel's pages ,looking for
those I tried to assist, yes, many alternative spellings.
My Cahill greatgrandfather is "Cabel"/ or "Cahill" or
"Cahel"
I would try, after randomly finding so many alternatives,
soundex possibilities with the code and soundex reels plus
Kayheel, Cahel, etc, Probably you're seeing alternate spelling in census indexes.
Also try next county or state.
