      SOME CONFLICT in information follows to what I have proven... (from Carolyn Fairall)
      Elizabeth Chitwood, was daughter of Capt. James Chitwood, d 1780 NC, as proved by letter dated 1806, from Thomas Thomson in St. Louis, to her brother James Chitwood in NC. [see: http://genforum.genealogy.com/chitwood/messages/316.html ]

      Elizabeth's child from second marriage to John Bond, married Charles Laughlin (father of Henry).

      A statement made 21 Jan 1828, by Thos. S. Whiteside, Administrator of Estate of Elizabeth Hubband, deceased: "to the best of his knowledge there are Six heirs of Elizabeth Hubberd now in being: James H. Whiteside; Sally Whiteside, married with J. Massey; Caty Whiteside; Adam J. Whiteside; Thomas S. Whiteside; and Rosannah Bond intermarried with Charles Laughlin."

      To prove title to land already sold, a Deed of Partition for estate of Elizabeth Hubbard, dated 1853 in St. Louis Co, MO, (a quarter century after her death): "... that Rosanna Laughlin wife of Charles Laughlin, another of said heirs, had died leaving her husband Charles Laughlin and her children: John Laughlin, Elisabeth Laughlin and who reported to have married one Alfred Wilson...., HENRY LAUGHLIN, America Laughlin and Rosanna Laughlin, as her heirs at law, infants, who are minors under the age of 21 years, as they believed and who were incapable of perfecting the title to the said several tracts and pieces of lands...[Henry and siblings were minors in 1827 when Elizabeth died].

      Americas Jane R. Chitwood, was named after her grandmother, Jane Robinson--------------------
      Henry Laughlin's wife, Americas Jane R. Chitwood was his second cousin. She was a granddaughter of Joshua Chitwood, of Gallia Co, OH in 1800, and his wife Jane Robinson. Joshua Chitwood and Elizabeth Chitwood Whiteside Bond Hubbard, were siblings..
      Americas Jane R. was living with parents in 1830 Ralls Co, MO - in family of James Chitwood, the younger (or Jr.), but not with parents in 1840. Assumption made that she was married to Henry Laughlin before 1840.
