Wonder who the older children were? Does anyone have any informatio on them? Evidently, John and Susan started out from the eastern US and went westward, stayed awhile in MO and going on to Texas. I am trying to tie them into a William K. Elliott (1817) and maybe James F. (about 1820) since they would have to have come across TN where William and a Mary was born according to the Panola County Censuses. Mary was staying with James' family after he died in the 1870 and was age 40. James was supposedly born in AL. William m. Laura Gratsy Birdsong in Fayette Co, TN in 1836. Laura was b in Marengo County AL. They sure got around back then. Let me know if you have anything please.
