     From Becky Presley:
     John Presley and Mary J. Mathis marriage license
     I haven't found this couple in any census records as a married couple or with their kids.

     Alfred Rockhold and Eliza Presley marriage license

               Rockhold, Alfred           10                         AR
                         William           8                         AR

     So this makes it appear Alfred (the father b. 1810) died between 1862 - 1870.
     Is Harrison McMullin's wife Elizabeth the Eliza that was Alfred (b. 1859) and 
     William (born 1862) Rockhold's mother?   I don't believe so.
     Harrison McMullin married Elizabeth Hankins in 1843 and Octavia was born 14 February 1857,
     so it doesn't appear this could be the Eliza who married Alfred in 1857.  So, it appears 
     that my Eliza (born in 1825) also died between 1862 - 1870.

     Mary Mathis Presley married Tandy Brady Bomer after John's death.  So far I still 
     can't find her in a census record with Tandy.  After Mary's death, Tandy remarried an Ellen.
