Biography

Elvira Hendrix was born in Tennessee in 1832.

Elvira married William Vanhook Self in 1848.^[1] They lived in Dyer County.^[2][3][4]

William died in 1898. In 1900, Elvira was living with Louis Wilcox and Susan Jane (Hendrix) Wilcox.^[5]

She passed away in 1912.^[6]

Ancestry

Susan Jane (Hendrix) Wilcox is presumed to be Elvira's sister, which would make Elvira one of the two females age 5-9 living with James Hendricks in 1840.^[7] A published biography of another of their children, William, suggests James and Martha were married around 1830.^[8]

The 1840 census indicates a mother born between 1800-1810, yet other records for Martha (King) Hendricks suggest a birth date no earlier than 1812. Rather than representing a different first wife for James, it is presumed that the 1840 census simply misrepresented Martha's age by a few years.
