It could be, although unlikely, that Elijah's wife, Mary, was the sister of Calob, rather than Elijah being the brother of Calob. For example, in my in-law's family two cousins both surnamed Fuller married. If Elijah was a cousin of Mary then they would both share the same last name and Calob would be the brother of Mary and the brother-in-law of Elijah. It could also be that someone got the relationship between Elijah and Calob wrong. I tried finding information on the names you listed and was unable to turn up anything. Perhaps a more experienced researcher will find something for you. Sandra Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
