Thanks, Annette. The bond below is the correct one. The spelling I've seen is Henry LONNON, which is a spelling sometimes used, but eventually they used LONDON all the time. For a long time I had hoped Mary ELAM who married Henry might be the Polly in Joel ELAM's will, but you may have been the one who filled me in on whom Polly married, and it was not Henry LONDON. I'm also interested in all the ELAMs who left VA for Rutherford Co., NC, because Mary and Henry were there (in Rutherford) by 1805, if my memory serves me correctly, and I wonder if the other ELAMs there might not be related to her. Mary ELAM LONDON died 18 May 1860 in Cleveland Co., NC. (Cleveland Co. was formed out of Rutherford Co.)

The daughter mentioned in my post, Mary (Polly) Elam, married James Elmore in Charlotte County on June 8, 1786 and died before 1810, leaving six Elmore children. As for the Mary Elam you mention, in Mecklenburg County, I will check my notes against the originals, of course, but right now, I have that she married Henry LENNON, marriage bond 13 Dec 1803, Philip Ryan, surety; marriage 15 Dec 1803, Edward Almond, minister. I really don't know who she was. Neither can I identify the Mary Elam who married Gideon Freeman in Mecklenburg County 19 Jan 1803, Philemon Hurt, surety, William Richards, minister, but I have a strong suspicion that one of those two may have been Mary Ann Easter Elam, the widow (and second wife) of Joel Elam, who died in 1898.

He was Solomon Harmon Elam, son of William and Judith Elam. Lived all his life in Charlotte County, died in 1843, about age 82. He was a Revolutionary War soldier.

Hi, I have some new information concerning my great great grandfather John Daniel Elam. I obtained a copy of his death certificate yesterday while visiting an older cousin. The death certificate lists his father as Daniel Elam (no information on his mother). Daniel Elam's place of birth is listed as Virginia. I would guess the time period to be between 1820-1830. This is only a guess, it could be earlier or a little later. John Daniel's place of birth is listed as North Carolina. My cousin had written some information down years before that indicated that John Daniel was born in Virginia and then moved at a young age to North Carolina. There is a little conflicting information here, but I have more than before. Does anyone have any information about this Daniel Elam? John Daniel had 14 children. I will list their names in case they are a clue to Daniel's other sons or daughters. They are Silas Gregory, John Otis, Dovie E., Charles Cleveland, Blanche Idell, Jennie Francis, Lessie Edna, Oscar Randolph (my great grandfather), Zella Rose, Ruby Eve, Roy Virgil, Gladys Laura, Nannie Bell, Alice Marie. Thanks, Kent Elam PS I would also like any tips anyone has on where to go from here.

In a posting to the List on Nov. 19th, Kiva Purkett (kpurkett@linknet.kitsap.lib.wa.us) listed various descendants of William Russell Looney and Sarah Elam. I didn't know if Kiva knew Sarah's ancestry, so I sent her what I have. I thought that maybe some on the List might also be interested. It is also on my Elam website at http://members.aol.com/VA1607. Here goes: First Generation 1 Sarah Emily ELAM. Born on 23 Jan 1822 in TN. died on 24 Feb 1891. She married William Russell LOONEY, on 23 Apr 1839. Second Generation 2 Chandler Norment ELAM. Born in 1790 in VA. died in Robertson, TN in 1862. Sometime after their marriage in 1813, Chandler and Tabitha moved from Virginia to North Carolina. The 1820 U.S. census shows Chandler residing in Rutherford county, North Carolina. By 1830 they were living in Davidson county, Tennessee, which is the north central part of the state, adjacent to Kentucky. They had eleven children. The census shows his occupation as a miller and living in Sumner county in 1850. He was living in Robertson county in 1860. All three counties are contiguous to each other. He married Tabitha Catherine HARRIS, on 18 Nov 1813 in Charlotte co., VA. 3 Tabitha Catherine HARRIS. Born on 6 Mar 1795 in Charlotte, VA. died on 25 Oct 1860. Buried in TN. Third Generation 4 Alexander ELAM. Born in 1762 in Middle Bluestone, Lunenburg co., VA. died in VA in 1799. Alexander Elam served as a private in the second Virginia state line militia for three years during the Revolutionary War. He enlisted 19 March 1777 and was discharged 1 May 1780. The following property of Alexander was taken by the State of Virginia for the war effort: 325 pounds of beef 71 pounds of bacon Like his father, Alexander was a slave owner. He married Jane NORMENT, on 14 Mar 1785 in Boydton, Mecklenburg, VA. 5 Jane NORMENT. Born in 1764 in Mecklenburg co., VA. 7 Sally. Fourth Generation 8 Joel ELAM. Born in 1736 in VA. died in Mecklenburg co., VA on 6 Sep 1798. He fought in the French and Indian War (1754-1763) in the Virginia Militia. Joel also rendered patriotic (as distinguished from military) service during the Revolutionary War. In 1777 Joel and his son Alexander signed a petition directed to the Virginia House of Delegates which urged the expulsion from the state of all British natives who were not loyal to the Revolutionary cause. In May 1780 the Virginia General Assembly passed an Act authorizing the purchase, and if necessary, the involuntary seizure of goods from the citizenry for the purpose of supplying the state militia, the Continental troops and its allies with needed provisions in the war against England. Pursuant to this Act, the following property of Joel Elam was taken: 7 1/2 bushells of wheat 325 pounds of beef 20 pounds of bacon Joel was a charter member of Meherrin Baptist Church in 1771. He owned land on the Middle Bluestone creek in Lunenburg county, Virginia. This land became part of Mecklenburg county when it was formed in 1765. Joel owned a slave named Jerry. He married Phebe HILL, in 1758 in St. James, Mecklenburg co., VA. 9 Phebe HILL. Born in 1738 in Lunenburg co., VA. died bef 1790. 10 William NORMENT. died in Mecklenburg co., VA in 1787.

Hi: I spent Monday at Sutro Library in S.F. Came away with more questions than answers as usual. Did come across the name of a book (info follows) that sounded interesting. Has anyone seen it, or better yet, own it? Amy Elam Wareham The Elam Family by Regina E. Evans c1990, 342 pages Mary Adair Chapter, SC DAR G.R.C. Report: Series 2, Vol 3
Hello, Can anyone tell me who the parents of this Daniel Elam are?In his will he mentions his wife Jane. His children , Edward Elam, William Elam, John Elam, Robert Henry Elam, George Foster Elam (my line), Elizabeth Elam,Lewis Wills Elam, Henrietta Elam Jetton, Emily Elam Stallings, Nancy Elam Malloy and grandson Daniel Jetton.Would love to correspond with someone descending from this family. Thanks, Sue
Hi Herman -- Regarding you inquiry about John Elam of the Old Three Hundred, my father stumbled across him some years ago but cannot recall now where he came from. He thinks he may have been one of the Illinois Elams, but since he turned out not to be in our line, he didn't make any detailed notes. He did, however, get a translation of the land grant. I've been working on getting it onto my web page, but just haven't made it there yet. If anyone is interested in the meantime, let me know and I'll e-mail you a copy. Cassie
ELAM, JOHN (?-?). John Elam, one of Stephen F. Austin'sqv Old Three Hundredqv settlers, was in the Austin colony as early as April 20, 1824, when he voted for the Baron de Bastropqv as deputy to the Constituent Congress of the eastern division of the Provincias Internas.qv Elam's title to a league of land was granted on August 7, 1824. The census of March 1826 listed him as a single man aged between twentyfive and forty. In October 1830 William Munson advertised lumber for sale on the land granted to Elam, and on December 15, 1830, the ayuntamientoqv of San Felipe de Austin declared the Elam league on the Brazos River vacant because he had abandoned the country without improving the land.

I was working on my Emails for the various lists I am on. Kiva Purkett sent this in hopes of making a Looney connection. I haven't been able to do that, but I noticed the Elam name and thought the Elam list might be able to help. She is not on the Elam list, so replies need to go directly to her as well as the list.
