Hi Roberta. Bill Drew here...
The Title of your Query is confusing. The "vital statistics" for Elijah Drew, Sr. (1660-1775) make him unable to have the children you describe. All were born long after Elijah, Sr. died.

I do have the following notes for a Elijah, Sr. which correspond somewhat to your data on the children. His father is most likely Clement, Jr., son of Clement ..and so on. Many in the geneanological world have attributed Elijah as being the son of Zebulon. My opinion, based on recently turned up information is that he is the son of Clement, Jr. The details are as follows..
