Elizabeth Tatum

Abt 1833 - 1859  (~ 26 years)

• Name	Elizabeth Tatum  [1]
  Born	Abt 1833	Illinois, USA   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Died	1859	Oregon, USA   [2]
  	Since Elizabeth's youngest child, Irene, is found in the home of her grandparents, Richard and Levina (Hartley) Tatom in 1860, age 1, and since Elizabeth's husband's 1919 obituary names her death year as 1859, it is reasonable to assume that she probably died from complications in childbirth.

  Father	Richard Tatom,   b. 12 May 1805, Orange County, North Carolina, USA ,   d. 23 Jul 1869, Oregon, USA  (Age 64 years)
  Mother	Levina Hartley,   b. 24 Jan 1811, Dickson County, Tennessee, USA ,   d. 7 Nov 1870, Benton County, Oregon, USA  (Age 59 years)
  Married	26 Mar 1826	Dickson County, Tennessee, USA   [5]
  	Richard's Oregon Donation Lands file states that he and his wife Levina were married in "Dixon" County, Tennessee, on this date. Many of the early Dickson County marriage records are missing, due to a tornado that destroyed the courthouse in 1830, explaining why no record has been located.

  Family	William H. Wood,   b. 16 Aug 1822, Cattaraugus County, New York, USA ,   d. 19 Jul 1919, Lostine, Wallowa County, Oregon, USA  (Age 96 years)
  Married	Abt 1854	Benton County, Oregon, USA   [2, 3]
  	Wm Wood's 1919 obituary indicates his marriage to Elizabeth Tatom "near Salem" after he returned from California and the Gold Rush (after 1949). Elizabeth's family arrived in October 1853 and it is likely that she was married soon after, possibly 1854. She had four children prior to 1859, the first, Columbus, born about 1855.
