Biography

JWH:"Graduated in Medical College, practiced in Mobile, Ala., died unmarried."^4,8

Research

JWH gives Mary as mother of Ephraim, but dates are incompatible⁴

Problem

JWH reports that Ephraim had a son Ephraim born in 1822 who went to medical college and practiced in Mobile, AL and died unmarried but this may be an error as there is no Ephraim in father’s will.¹
