Betsy Gilmore Manscill, wife of John Manscill, was not Morning Dove White. She was the daughter-in-law of William and Morning Dove Manscill.

This is Elvis' great great grandmother, claimed to be the same person as Morning White Dove (1800-1835) who married William Mansell, a West Tennessee settler, in 1818. [1] A popular photo supposed to be of her is actually of an Umatilla woman called Princess Eat-no-meat. [2]
