"I notice that on Viriginia Elizabeth you had KING as her maiden name married
to James William PICKENS and William KING as her father....
Virginia Elizabeth parents were Eleazor B. CORDER and Temperance Jane REEVES.
Eleazor and Temperance were married 18 July 1859 in Pontotoc, MS. Eleazor
joined the Confederate army and was wounded and captured and sent to Ft. Douglas
camp in Chicago,Ill and died and buried there Feb.1863.
William KING was in the same camp and he came back and married Temperance 15
March 1864 in Tippah, MS. William KING first wife had died and left him with six
children and Temperance had the one.
Virginia CORDER first married a L.L.J. ROBERTS and had a son John W. ROBERTS
and I don't know what happen to ROBERTS maybe died aft. 1880. She remarried a ?
BROCK for one day (I wish I knew who) and then she married our James William
PICKENS May 1891.
Interesting story don't you think. Virginia funeral records shows as a
CORDER.

They had three children: Farrell, Don, and Harrell. Farrell is in the

responded once ... then never continued.
I-m doubtful that the Mississippi marriage is our James Franklin..."
