Kim,
Jonathan may have had good reason to be afraid of Levi.Levi killed a man in a bar room brawl and was sentenced to hang.Before his execution the jail door was left unlocked and he escaped to Hall Co., Ga.He did however return to Anderson Co. and sell land to the sheriff before his death ca 1844.Wonder who left the cell unlocked?Levi was the s/o Samuel Elrod.He was the father of Haden who married Mahala Timms.The Timm and Elrod lines cross a number of times.Who Jonathan is I do not know.I would love to know if you found any other info on these Elrods.
