Candis was born, according to cemetery records, on July 4, 1809, and married to W. G. Thorp in 1821. I suppose that this is not impossible, but it seems highly unlikely. Does anyone have any way of confirming or refuting any of this? They were from Giles Co., TN. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
