bullet  Research Notes:

Hiram is believed to be Elisha's son because (i) William Smith was the bondsman for his marriage, (ii) he was the beneficiary of Elisha's directive to Wm E. Cocke regarding a land transfer, and (iii) because he was the first guardian for Elisha (see Events for Elisha for more detail on each of the latter points).
