Tammy, I think someone already answered your question in regards to Joannah Elizabeth and it does agree with the information that I have (James, (Jimmy)Sutton. Martha's mother in case you don't have that was Joanah Asher Dillehay b. Apr. 11, 1778, d. May 11, 1856. There is a very good article in the Smith Co History Book on the Dillehay's and a picture of Edmunds grave on the Smith Co. site.
