Hi Ed, My grgrgrandfather lived in Benton Co. Tn. in 1843 when he married Mary Ann Cottingham and 1844 when they had a son but I don't know when he died, could you please look in your cemetery book for a John Elmore around that time or a little after. Thank you so much. I live in Alton, IL. can't get to Tn. until spring. Virgie Curvey
