Thanks! - Karen
The obit mentions Zelta Hileman. His sister, Zetta, was born in 1883. Zetta was married to Clarence Wright Horrell. Quite possibly a misspelling in the obit?

I put all my research (20 year's worth) on WikiTree for others to access.
"Lee took me to see James I and his widowed sister Mrs. Weatherall, who were living in a beautiful old home, built by their grandfather in 1845, and there amonst old letters and documents, dating back to 1836, we found the Bible record of James and Margaret McElroy Wilson, listing the birth dates of their fourteen children. They were as follows, according to age: 1. Mary; 2. Nancy; 3. William; 4. Samuel; 5. Sarah; 6. Elizabeth; 7. John McElroy 8. James Irvine; 9. Green; 10. Ann; 11. Margaret; 12. Malinda; 13.

He is said to have died in 1790 in an Indian attack - but we have William of Rowan living until later in the 1800's.
Keep up all the good work you do on WikiTree profiles.
