I have no darn clue at all, other then the family owned most of the town!!! My uncle had traced the family ( he is dead ) and managed to go back to the late 1600's. So anything is possible. Let me know if it is familiar. I have no idea whether Elsie had sister's or brother's. My father's side ) Brattons ) were nuts!!! lol Cynthia
