Notes for Elvira Mary Bailey: Several sources say that there is a family tradition that Elvira was part Cherokee Indian from NC. A descendant Mike Wilson reports that there are indications, though not specific evidence, that her mother was a full-blood Cherokee.
I originally learned this name as Mary Elvira, and found it that way in the first genealogy I saw. However, some census entries have her as Elvira M. All genealogy and family sources refer to her as Elvira. The 1850 census lists her as Elvira M Mullins. The 1860 census has E Mary. This seems to confirm the order of her names.
The 1870 census spells her name Evira. This surely is just a mis-write. 1880 has Elvira. I have changed her name in this genealogy to Elvira Mary.
