You have children of John and Elizabeth wrong but am interested in where you got Gracie and Basil.I don't find them.John and Elizabeth Head in Maury Co.

MO (area became Christian Co.) The md licence has strange spellings but I believe this is correct date.He and Polly appear on 1860 census of Christian Co. MO.In 1870 on census of Carroll Co. AR. Children from 2nd marriage: Henderson who died young; Mahala Anne md Parrington Packwood; Josephine md William Hydra Holman; John Allen md Dottie McGill; Young (Finius Coleman); and Louisa.
