The information from Kelly indicates The wife of John Melvin Crosswhite, Sr. was Elizabeth "Stonecipher" who was born in Germany. Also, the information shows she married John "Crosswaite", born in England.
We know John Melvin Crosswhite was born in Johnson County, TN and his wife gave her place of birth as North Carolina. Additionally, Elizabeth (Stone) Crosswhite's daughter listed Elizabeth's maiden name as "Loyd" on her death certificate - I haven't seen this death certificate, but I have a source for it.

Only research will prove or disprove this. Kelly's aunt,who is now in her 80's says the name was definitely "Stonecipher".
