How do you know that James had a daughter named Ann? Was she mentioned in his will? We can eliminate 2 of your Anns right away. Annie who married Elam Grizzle was too young and she was accounted for on the 1810 census. Ann, wife of Bryant Senour was not listed on the 1810 census. So she either died by then or the census taker just didn't list her on the census. Bryant was still alive in 1810 but I doubt he would have divorced Ann so she could marry William Grizzle. That leaves Ann, widow of John McCollum or Ann, daughter of James McCollum. Per the 1810 census Ann wife of William Grizzle was born before 1765. So if James McCollum was her father he would have been born before 1745. Do you know if he was that old? My vote is for Ann, widow of John McCollum. She was the right age and with her mentioned as a widow on the marriage record I feel that McCollum was her married name not her maiden name. But who knows at this point. Here is the marriage record for William and Ann: "GRIZZLE, William & Ann MCCULLUM, 16 Jan. 1806, m by GH, b James McCollum, Ann a widow, Campbell Co., KY" I don't know if Clarissa Ballenger was related to Kitty Ballenger. Clarissa was born abt. 1798 in Virginia and died between 1850-1858, probably in Kenton Co., KY. That is all I know about her. Becky
