From History of Maries Co, MO by Everett M. King, page 256:
The birth and death dates of C. J. (Jackie) Elrod have not been received. He was born probably in Indiana, and was married here February 2, 1855, to Scianna, daughter of John H. and Judith Moon. She was born in Indiana August 29, 1838, and died November 28, 1919. They lived most of their married lives, and C. J. Elrod probably died, at the place on the old Vienna and Lanes Prairie road still known as the Elrod Spring in the Bend. It is thought that Mrs. Elrod died at the home of her son, C.J. Elrod Junior also in this county.

Thirteen children were born of this union, of whom three died in infancy, five died after reaching maturity, and five are still living.

The living are: Nannie, wife of W. W. Palmer who lives on Spring Creek in this county; Judith whose first husband was John Huckaby and who is now the widow of Logan Weaver in Harrisburg, Illinois; George whose wife was Rebecca, daughter of Elijah Jones at the Bowles place on Lane's Prairie (George and Judith are twins); Colonel, who married Gertie Fann, lives in the Bend; and Jacob, the youngest, who married Mary, daughter of Jerry Jones of Monett, Missouri.

The five who have passed away leaving families are: Joseph, William, John M., Ellen, and T. B. Elrod Junior. Joseph Elrod married Elizabeth, daughter of Elijah Jones, and until the time of his death something like twenty years ago the family lived on Wolf Creek in the Bend on the farm where his widow continued to live until her marriage to Moses Hull. She is now Mrs. Calvin Breeding Junior. Seven children of Joseph and Elizabeth Elrod lived to maturity: Fannie died single, and Mamie died after her marriage to a man named Hall, in Oregon; she left one son, Ivor. The five living children are: Sallie, wife of Adam Backues, and Laura, wife of Ernest Matthews, both of this county; Rebecca, who married in St. Louis, and W. J. who also lived there; Emeline also married a Hall. Both she and Ivor live in Oregon.
