There was a Reuben H. Elmore in the Robertson County, TN,
records in the 1830-40s. His name was written to
look like Elmon by census takers. Some people
inverted the "r" in Elmore making it appear as Elmon.
See Reuben H. Elmon in
the Census Clips!
See handwriting samples below: See census taker writing
the same way on a different word! "amt
brot forward"
The
above samples show how my Grandmother Elmore wrote "Elmore," and
how someone else addressed a postcard to her. If you
look at old wills and deeds, in many cases the "r"
is inverted in Elmore, as it is in many word that have an
"r" following an "o". (Could Reuben H. Elmore be
Deborah's husband ?")
See land transactions.... (Notice the connection to Peter
Hebdin (Hebdon?) see Points to Ponder
for possible Hibdon connection. ) |
