1860 census shows Ellen R King. 

Ella died soon after marriage and then her 
sister Olivia M King married Roderick Theophilus 
Shivers. Ella is buried in the "Old Raleigh Cemetery" 
in Raleigh, Shelby County Tn on the north side of
what is now a Interstate turnpike. I cleaned this 
cemetery with the Boyscouts in 1967 and the last
few trips out there this cemetery is all but vanished.

It is known that burials happened over other persons,
multiple persons within a single grave, sunken and 
missing tombstones, stolen tombstones. This old Cemetery
has NEVER been kept sacred by any inhabitants that 
followed in the community.
