Her tombstone lists the year of death as 1879, as well as in William INGLE's Bible, but John's death is listed first (which indicates to me that hers was listed at the same time of John's death), but she is still alive on 4 Jun 1880 when the Census of District 10 was taken in Sevier Co., TN. Her date of birth is listed as 6 Apr 1813, but census records do not concur.
She is listed in 1880 as Celia, age 68 b in SC. In 1870 Sevier Co., TN Census she is listed as Clia, age 70 b in SC. In 1860 Sevier Co., TN she is listed as Caroline age 43, b NC, and in Cocke Co., TN Census of 1850 she is listed as Celia age 29, b SC, 1840: 1 female 20-30 born 1810-1820 (Celia herself)
Her name changes from Census to Census. Sometimes she is listed as Clia, Caroline, and Celia. I do believe that it is the same wife of John each time. The dates are not quite consistent, but...She is listed as Selia on her tombstone in Zion Hill Cemetery.
She is listed in the 1880 Sevier Co., TN Census as having Cancer and is listed on the 1880 Schedule of Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent Class as being blind. This blindness caused by the Cancer.
According to family legend, John married an Indian girl who had been abandoned and lived with them. (Marguerite Joyce Perdue Brown states that her mother and grandmother, Zora, told her of the Cherokee line being through her great, great grandfather.)
