Ada Ann King, daughter of Andrew S. King & Martha J. Brown, b. 1873. Ada married Robert Vincent McElhenney on Dec 14, 1892 Andrew S. King is either the son of or Grandson of John M. King (whom I believe was a Justice of the Peace in Jasper). The 1850 Census has Andrew, age 5, with John, age 55. Andrew and Martha were married Dec 7, 1866. Martha J. Brown appears to the daughter of William H. Brown and Sarah H. According to the 1860 Census, the Brown's would have arrived in Jasper between 1855-1860 from South Carolina. Robert Vincent McElhenney appears to be on the 1870 census with a McElheney, B age 30 and Mary age 30. This census is the only record I've found where the age and name matchs up. Ada & Robert are my GGrandparents. They both died in Charleston, SC and are buried there at Riverview Memorial. Robert died in 1948 from a long illness and Ada died shortly thereafter in 1950. Family stories tell of Ada being a Native American, they believe it to be Cherokee. I have yet to uncover anything to provide evidence of this story. Any information pertaining to these people or families would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! And best of luck in your Genealogy research!
