Now that we have the facts and nothing but the facts about Elizabeth and her bunch of youngins, we can move on with your hunt for Mr. wonderful Elusive.

We will begin in Marion County, Alabama and examine the clues we have on where the couple could have originated.

From the notes below from the 1830 Marion County, Alabama Census, we see that there are two candidates for the parents of our Woods.

(Both of these families had a son who was at the ripe ole age to get hitched.)

The choices are either:

Also, both of those families lived near a Jeremiah Fowler, who incidentally had a few daughters who were old enough to be married off.

OH, by the way, Elizabeth named her second son, Jeremiah ~AND~ Elizabeth and Mr. Elusive named their only daughter, MARY!!

Is that a coincidence? Or WHAT?

We can make two conclusions based on what we find on the 1840 Marion County, Alabama census.

The first conclusion would be based on the fact that both Mary Woods and Jeremiah Fowler are not listed on that 1840 census. That would be that Mary Woods' son married Jeremiah Fowler's daughter (who could be our Elizabeth) and they both followed along to Mississippi with the love birds.

The second conclusion would be based on the fact that John Woods had a missing son during that 1840 census. The son could be our Woods and Jeremiah Fowler could have left with the Woods family.

Now, lets mix that up with the known fact that the Woods family left Alabama and arrived in Mississippi sometime between the dates 1832 and 1834, sandwiched in between the births of her first two sons.
