Elizabeth apparently took at least one child from her first marriage with her into the second marriage. Samuel Landis is found living with Elizabeth and Henry Silas Gines in the 1880 census records. They are living by his parents in Luken Co, Lawrence Co, IL.

Jeanine Sholz and Larry Herrin both have her date of death as March 27, 1916. My records from Ft. Wayne, IN Public Library were copied as April 27, 1916.

Jesse married SPANGLER SARAH on 10 May 1832 in Ohio. SARAH was born on 7 Oct 1810 in Wayne County, Ohio; died on 7 Dec 1858 in Lawrence County, Illinois; was buried in Brian Cemetery, Lawrence County, Illinois. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Added children whose names didn't match so there may be more children listed than they had. Some may be duplicates have been called by their nicknames.

Per Larry Herrin:

!LINEAGE: George Ann Waxler Family Data Sheet for Elijah Thompson (mailed by
Pat Miller, Florence, Al). Family Data sheet from Patricia Miller 2344 Roberts
Ln. Florence, Al. 35650. Elijah was on the membership list in November 1821 at
Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. The other adult males attending there were Isaac
Herrin, William Herrin and Shadrack Herrin. From 1810-1840 Census information,
he was not the son of William. He is too young to be the child of Shadrack,
since Shadrack would have been approximately 50 years old in 1813.
Also, if you look at the names of his children, you'll see Isaac, Rebecca,
Hannah, Lydia, John and all the familiar names of Shadrack Herrin and William
Herrin family.

..........................................................................
Per 1820 Pulaski Co., KY Census Isaac Herrin had only one son and he was
0-10 years old (1810-1820). Elijah was born in 1813. Isaac Herrin was
the Delegate from Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church to the Association quite
often.

If you examine the names of the children of Elijah ands compare them, you
have:

1. Isaac (paternal grandfather)
2. Rebecca (maternal aunt, maternal gr-grandmother, paternal
gr-grandmother)
3. Lucinda (maternal aunt Cynthia)
4. Hannah Elizabeth:
Hannah (paternal grandmother, paternal aunt)
Elizabeth (mother, maternal grandmother)
5. Mary A. (maternal aunt)
6. John (maternal uncle)
7. Margaret ( ? )
8. Alexander ( ?, but a common Herrin name)
9. Squire M. (maternal uncle)
10. Sarah E. (mother)
11. James L. (maternal uncle)
12. Lydia (paternal aunt)
13. Emma J. ( ? )
