Velda Jo, I show Richard MAXEY b. 1840 in Knox Co. TN. and his wife was Elizabeth BATSON , they were married 29 Oct 1839 in Cannon Co. TN. I show their daughter Mary Adaline MAXEY as the first child born about 1840 in Cannon Co. TN. Did he have two wives and possibly I have all the kids mixed together?
