There is an Anderson County, TN, record of a marriage of Elvis WALLACE,
b. 7 Jan 1838, d. 8 Sep 1885, to Rebecca CORUM, b. abt. 1841-2, on 8 Sep
1857. They had children:
Sarah Elizabeth, b. 16 Aug 1858, who married 20 jan 1876, Levi Carson CARNS
Mary J. "Jennie", b. abt. 1861
William M., b. abt. Aug 1869
Cora Ann, b. Mar 1871, who married A. Byrd MURRAY
John L., b. abt. 1874
Martha E., b. abt. 1876
James R., b. abt. 1871
There is no person in the 1850 census who is likely to be this Rebecca
CORUM other than Rebecca CARDEN, b. abt. 1841-2, in Anderson Co., TN,
daughter of John B. CARDEN and Sarah "Sally" MCPHETRIDGE.
In the 1870 and 1880 censuses, Elvis (shown as Alvis in 1870) and
Rebecca are living next door to and 2 doors from, respectively, John B.
and Sarah CARDEN.
This is highly suggestive to me that the Rebecca who married Elvis
WALLACE was Rebecca CARDEN, daughter of John B. and Sarah "Sally"
(McPhetridge) CARDEN.
Is there a descendant of this line who has any documentation that this
is true?
