His name was listed as Kim Tallent. I found Kim's Social Security Death Index entry. His name was listed as Kim Wallace. So the surname mystery certainly seems to continue into the next generation. As an aside, Kim's birth date was listed as 8 Jul 1897 on both his WWI draft card and on has SSDI entry. His WWI draft card says he was born in Concord, Knox County, Tennessee. Dist. 10 (as in the 1900 census entry for the family) included Concord. Many Anderson County families seem to have moved to Concord if they moved to Knox County. Jerry Bryan

Addie Jane England 1876-1948 was the daughter of James William (William or Wilburn or Bill) England and Fanny E. Lea. Bill England was the brother of my gg grandmother Vesta Clay England. Bill England and Fanny Lee were married on 14 Jul 1875 in Anderson County. Addie's death certificate says that she was born on 30 May 1875 in Knox County, and Addie was enumerated in the 1880 census in Knox County, age 3. So I suspect Addie was really born 30 May 1876. Addie was raised by her grandparents James Crofford (Crofford) Lea and Rebecca Adaline Starky in Knox County. Bill England married second Margaret Jones on 17 Aug 1878 in Morgan County. So Fanny Lea must have died when Addie was born, or shortly thereafter. Addie married Alexander S. (Alex) Wallace or Alexander S. Tallent, and therein lies the mystery. The marriage record is Addie Jane England to Alexander Tallent, 21 Jun 1893, in Knox County. Here is the 1900 census entry for the family.
