Daughter of Robert and Sarah (Cowan) Hair. No one knows for sure her correct name. She is always listed as either Elender or Elenour in census. Her headstone says Ellen.
August 31, 1860 she was united in marriage with F. Lewis Caudle. To this union 7 children were born, with two dying as infants in North Carolina.
She and Lewis moved from North Carolina with his brother Amos and half brother George. Her sister Mary Catherine 'Molly' Hair had married Amos the year after she and Lewis married. Stories conflict but one says that the girls mother moved with them, leaving her husband behind. Another says that she came to visit them with in a month of their move (took days by covered wagon or horse). Either way, their mother Sarch passed away in one of their homes in Norwood, Wright, Missouri and is buried (unmaked grave) in area that now either the Caudle cemetery or Thomas Cemetery, unknown which one, that is also conflicting.
She and Lewis sold their farm in 1901 in Norwood and moved to Kansas, where they remained until their passing.
She is my 2nd Great Grand Aunt, two ways.
