Elbert Odom/Odum Family - Cuba, AL

I have Elbert Odom's parents as Wesley S. Odom and Ruth D. Elmore.
He was living in Smith Co. Mississippi in 1870 & 1860 and he was listed as being born in Alabama. In the 1870 census his father is listed as Wesley Odom and 1860 as W.S. Odom
Wesley S. Odom and Ruth D. Elmore were married in Henry Co., Alabama in 24 Oct. 1846.
Their children are:
Nancy abt 1845 AL,
Frances J abt 1849 AL,
John W. abt 1851 AL,
William P. abt 1852 AL,
Elbert A. Nov 1854 AL,
Mary J. abt 1857 AL or MS,
James E. abt 1859 Al or MS,
Martha A. abt 1861 MS,
Nancy Missouri E. abt 1863 MS
I have not found Wesley S. Odom's parents, depending on different census records he was born in AL, GA & SC, there is a Wesley S. Odom in AL in the 1850 census but it is not him.
I have found no definite proof of Ruth D. Elmore's parents but based on the Elmore's living in Henry Co. AL before and after her marriage the only family she would fit into the 1840 census records would be Matthew Elmore and Lucinda/Lucy Tate's household.
Matthew and Lucinda were married in Greene Co., GA on 15 Sep. 1824, by 1830 they were in Monroe Co., GA and bef 1837 they moved to Henry Co., Al.
The Children of Matthew Elmore and Lucinda Tate are:
*Ruth D. 1827 Greene or Monroe Co., GA
Mary A. 1829 Greene or Monroe Co., GA
Robert G. 1831 Monroe Co., GA
Jesse Jefferson 1833 Monroe Co., GA
Matthew M. 1840 Henry Co., AL
Martha 1842 Henry Co., AL
William S. 1844 Henry Co., AL
Daniel A. 1846 Henry Co., AL
There is also one more missing daughter born before 1840.
Though Matthew Elmore's parents are not known, it is known he has three known brothers Mark/Marcus, Luke & John. Source below.

Among those of the Southern Elmore's who have favored him with information in relation to their family ancestry and history are; Jesse J Elmore of Campbellton, Fla whose grandfather had four sons with the biblical names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Jesse J. Elmore was the son of Matthew Elmore who moved to Jackson Co, Florida before 1860.
