I have three Ann McCollum plus Anney McCollum who fit the time frame. The first of these is Ann the widow of John who died in 1797. This couple had a daughter Ann who was married to Bryant Senour prior to 1797. The third Ann McCollum is the one married to William Grizzle. I do not have the note from the marriage bond indicating this Ann to be a widow. However, the bond maker was James McCollum. I have this James McCollum as having a daughter, Ann, and being the one married to William Grizzle. This James McCollum died about 1821 (probate). You say Elam's second wife was Clarissa Ballenger. Was she perhaps the sister to Kitty Ballenger wife of James Marshall. I am missing the 1810 census but show no Ann McCollum as head of household.
