SSW: Elander F. - Research Note: Surname also found as Walling and Wallen. Notes of Don Dixon at findagrave.com: Joseph B. "J.B." was the son of James Carr and Mary (Johnson) Walling. He married Elander F. Baker on Dec. 16, 1819 in Hawkins County, Tennessee; they had 8 children: James Carr, Mary "Polly Pop", John D. "Long Goody", Henry P., Hannah, Joseph Peyton "Joe Doc", William B. and Thomas T. Tom Walden (son of Henry P.) told story that "J.B. along with his brother and family made the trip from Tennessee to Keetsville, Missouri (now Washburn) in a wagon drawn by an ox team and a pony upon which some of the children rode. The men walked and carried their guns and hunted along the way. They would camp and the men would go to every shooting match they heard of. J.B. was an expert shot and would stick the point of his knife into the paper and bet $1 that he could cut or drive it out a distance of 60 yards with his muzzle loading rifle." J. B. was remembered as a very colorful character. | Note Phyllis Long Photo Jack Fly |
