Notes 
Individual:

1830 Crawford Co MO: 0001/10001; MO: 1830-43, Crawford, Pike, Pulaski, Greene Cos.; land grant 1830 Pike Co MO, called âÇúof Pike Co MOâÇù; Methodist preacher

The evidence linking James with Shadrach and Nancy (Hail) Alvis: the facts that Shadrach had a son JamesâÇôs age in 1820 and that they lived in the same areas at three different times (Lawrence Co TN, Pike Co MO and Jefferson Co IL). It has not been proven that James was ever in Jefferson Co IL, but his widow and two of his children were there in 1850. James was born ca 1808 in TN, his wife Luvina Pulliam ca 1808. The other Alvises in TN at that date (Abraham, Edmund, Zachariah C and George W) are none of them very likely, while Shadrach fits perfectly and did have a son that age otherwise unknown. All of ShadrachâÇôs children (with the exception of John S and the youngest two) have been identified only on the basis of being in the same counties as Shadrach when there were no other known Alvises in the area at that time. I have not been able to find James in 1840 and assume he was deceased by 1850. His wifeâÇôs remarriage in that year, together with the fact that he was a Methodist preacher, imply that he was dead, not divorced, although she apparently did divorce her second husband.
DaughtersâÇô Death Certificates: Mary (Alvis) Ferguson PArke Co IN, #35976, 4 Nov 1934; Lucy Annie (Alvis) Young, Nokomis IL, # 3111, 17 Oct 1923; Sarah (Alvis) Fulwider, Monroe Co IN, #38008, 30 Dec 1930.
Children identified in letter from Nellie (Alvis) Becker, 18 Sep 1966.
