Trainum mentioned above had a sister named Catherine Ann Trainum. She is my great great grandmother. Married in February, 1842 to James A. Talley in Maury County, TN., she had six children, the youngest of which was my ggrandfather John Bell Talley. As you show, Cornelius Trainum's (and Catherine's) parents were Jeremiah Trainum and Elizabeth Wilson. I have not been able to prove that to the satisfaction of the SAR or DAR, i.e., proof of birth or ancestry by will, etc. Do you have such proof? I believe that Jeremiah was the son of a William Trainum from Sumner Co., TN who also applied for a Revolutionary Pension. Additionally, Jeremiah and Willliam are shown in the 1823 Tax List for Maury Co. adjacent to each other. Catherine was buried in Obion Co. in 1876 at the United Meth. Church Cemetery.
