Annette - Then where did the Bible of Edward Elam - 1st wife Martha Smith - 2nd wife Lettice Chaffin Wallace come from? I was my understanding that you placed it on the homepages.rootsweb.com/~celam/family.htm.In it Anderson Samuel Elam is mentioned as the son of this Edward.
I have not seen the actual Pension Application for 1812 but know of it because of the 1812 index. I will have to send for it.I come down directly from Anderson's son, Silas Shelby Elam > Richard Bascom Elam> Charles Ralph Elam> Ralph George Elam> Emily Elam Bell.
The only census records we have are the copies of the census records of just Cleveland County and they are not the national ones.I will have to go back through them to see what it says.Anderson and Letty must have moved to
NC after his service in the War of 1812.He would have been a young man and might well have been a blacksmith and become a doctor later.
Have you seen any of the research papers of Bryte Elam's.I know she passed away and my sister talked to her daughter when we were in Shelby a year ago.She said that Bryte's papers were at her brother's and that they had not gone through them yet.I wonder what they will do with them?
My sister and I met Philip Ramseur Elam a couple of years ago at his home in Mars Hill.He is a charming man but was not much help.Remembered some things but could not put his hands on anything.I understand that he is not well now.
Thank you for your quick reply.Please keep in touch my sister and I are actively digging and make trips to all the little Court houses and libraries.We need to spend more time in Virginia this coming winter.
