Misc. Notes
When David returned from the war, Elizabeth was very ill. She knew she was dying and she knew that after her death, David was moving to Tennessee where some of his relatives had moved to during the war.
Elizabeth asked David to leave their two little girls with her parents when he left Alabama. He evidently did as she requested because the 1870 census of Marion County, Alabama, shows the two girls, Martha Jane Brumley and Samantha Margaret Brumley living in the household of John Scott next door to Peter Martin Scott.
