Hi Melissa, I have that Robert Alexander Faries was born in Sardis, Mississippi, married in Alabama, and died, as you said, in Itasca.

Robert Alexander Faries >> William Alexander (b.1828 Tennessee) >> Robert Arthur (b.ABT 1790 South Carolina) >> Robert Esq (b.1733 County Antrim, Ireland) >> Alexander James Faries (b.1698 County Antrim, Ireland).

Would you have confirmation on Robert Alexander being born in 1851? And the date on which he and Elizabeth were married? There's a little conflicting info with those two dates:
