Notes:

Findagrave memorial #79847353 by Sandra grace-Haller states:
"There is some controversy about Elizabeth's maiden name. My Great Aunt Lettie Welch Wilcox told me back in the early 1970s that it was Osmus, later changed to Ausmus. In the Old Speedwell Families book, reprinted 1983 on page 369 it says "Elizabeth Robertson." I called Joy Edwards Davis and questioned her about this, she indicated that after the change from Ausmus to Robertson, she had since reflected on that decision and was uncertain about the accuracy of the name change.

Therefore, I am still using what was handed down through my Moyers family line.

Elizabeth Moyer is my 4th Great Grandmother.

Sandra Grace-Haller"

note: there are some Ausmus buried in Hunter Cem, Speedwell, Clairborne Co, TN.
