Are you sure that he was born in TN? I found the following, but it is dated March 20,
1837 (as stated it was the61st anniversary of the independence of the United States) and
Elsberry would have been only 13 years old. I believe his parents to be Rhodes and
Isabella Rodgers/Rogers. Rhodes was born in either GA or TN, depending upon which census
that you trust. Isabella was born in KY. All of the children appear to have been born in
IN. First see following Land Record for Elsberry and then see the following census
records.

This could be the cousin to Elsberry since we don't know the soldier's age. Seems
too old to be Elsberry's father.
