I have noticed conflicting data regarding a Mary Elizabeth HORN (b 31Aug1849 TN; d 30Jun1935 McNairy Co, TN) that married William Riley Wardlow (b 05Aug1849 TN; d ?) in McNairy Co, TN on 10Aug1871. I have their children as James D & Ira D. Is this Mary Elizabeth HORN the daughter of John HORN (b 16Mar1816 NC; d 08apr1900 McNairy Co, TN) and Mary A ? (b 20Oct1825 NC; d 04Dec1895 McNairy Co, TN) or is she the daughter of James F HORN (b 23Feb1823 Orange Co, NC; d 02May1895 Kaufman Co, TX) and Elizabeth Jane WHITAKER (b 22Jul1827 NC; d 18May1885 Kaufman Co, TX)? I have both the aforementioned John HORN and James F HORN as the sons of James F HORN (b abt 1784 Orange Co, NC; d ?) and Elizabeth REDDING (b abt 1788 Orange Co, NC; d ?). Other siblings of John & James F are Stephen, Mary Ann (my line), David, Eliza, Martha & Nancy Jane. I have siblings of Mary Elizabeth HORN as James W, David Burton, John G, Henry L and Nancy Ann. If these are all John's children, who were the children of James F HORN & Elizabeth WHITAKER? If they are James F's children, who were the children of John HORN & Mary A ? Who is Mary A? To add more confusion to the mixture, who are the parents of William Riley WARDLOW? Some have him as the son of John WARDLOW (b 31May1828 NC; d bef 1910 in McNairy Co, TN) and Nancy Jane HORN (b 16Mar1829; d ?). Nancy Jane HORN is a sister to John & James F HORN as mentioned earlier. If John & Nancy Jane WARDLOW are William Riley's parents, then Mary Elizabeth HORN and her husband William Riley WARDLOW were 1st cousins. This wasn't too uncommon for the time period. Some have William Riley as an illegitimate son of John WARDLOW and that Nancy Jane HORN was not his mother. Anyone have any proof one way or the other or about any of this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Any additional dates where I have questions marks, references for proof of data or related info will also be appreciated. I have a fair amount of information on related individuals if anyone is interested. Bill Browning
