It is the compilation dated 30 Jul 1966 authored by Elizabeth James Adams Tehan, which definitively ties the Tehan family of Altadena, California with the Turner family of Webster Groves, Missouri.[1 pg typed mss by her] She traced the branch from Harriet Cilley (1844/1902) via both her 1st husband, Benjamin Franklin Bedinger, and her second husband, Alphonse C. Turner. See other entries on these lines.
Elizabeth was married first 23 Oct 1937 to Wm B. Elam; he was born 13 Oct 1908, d. 10 Oct 1939. Her second marriage, 9 Nov. 1944 to Marion Francis Tehan; he was born 29 Oct 1902. They resided at 4329 Canyon Crest Rd., Altadena, California 91002. She must have written to her Ohio cousins which is why her address is included. She does not name any issue for herself or for her husband. She writes that she was the only child of her parents, Harriet Bedinger Adams and James Lee Adams. Just found a note added onto the bottom of a handwritten list (prob by Ellen Hardin Poole Garrison) of the children of James Poole and his wife Emily Cilley Poole. This note includes 3 Jan 1910 date as the birthday of Elizabeth James Adams, and cites her marriage date as 23 Oct 1937; it further gives his name as Wm Bertram Elam, b 13 Oct 1908--so it seems consistent with our data.
