Kay: Thanks for the message. Sorry about the wrong date. It was a typographical error. He probably died in 1766. His will was written 18 Dec 1765 and proved 3 Sep 1766. Here is what I have in case you need it. One caveat, I have not seen these abstracts personally; they were sent to me: "Chesterfield County Will Book 1, page 238: Will of Gilbert Elam, dated 18 Dec 1755: Wife, Elizabeth; to have use of plantation for widowhood and profits therefrom to maintain and educate my children. Son Josiah to have possession of his estate at 18. Land I hold in right of my wife Elizabeth, 150 acres on Third Branch, and 1 negro, to remain in her possession for life. To son Josiah, 150 acres on Third Branch. To daughter Keziah Elam, 1 negro. Executors: wife and brother James Elam. Witness: Thomas More, Edward Friend, Jr., Thomas Friend, Jr." "Chesterfield County OB 2, page 219: Court 3 September 1756: Will of Gilbert Elam, Jr., presented by Elizabeth, the widow and executrix, proved by Edward Friend, Jr., and Thomas Moore." "Chesterfield County OB 2, page 233: Court 5 November 1756: Inventory of Gilbert Elam returned."

Ruth: My records show Robert (b.1684) daughter Anne b. abt 1730 married April 6, 1752 to William Walthall, (Marriages Va. 1607-1800) Is Christopher and William the same person? I have Obedience also as d/o Robert, but I don't show a husband for her. Also, Deed Bk 1, Amelia Co., Deeds 1735-1743, Bonds 1735-1741: Richard Walthall of Henrico Co., Va. to son William Walthall, Dated April 16, 1742. Natural love and affection he beareth unto his son as for his advancement in the world today. 300 Acres. Deed recorded April 16, 1742. If Obedience was married to Christopher, can you tell me who Anne was married to? Thanks, Kay

Elam List, The only Elam I have in my direct line is Obedience Elam that married Christopher Walthall. I do have a good many Walthals in my line but I have nothing on Christopher Walthall. Would any one on the list have any information on this marriage and his parents and their children. Thanks ever so much, Tom tjsvrs@webzone.net

I have very little information on my line. My greatgrandmother was Louise Elam, born 19 September 1845 in Canton, Georgia. She married Charles Edward Brown in Americus, Georgia in March of 1866. Her death certificate lists Col. George Elam as her father and says mother unknown. Does anyone have any record of Canton or Americus, Georgia Elams that could tie into these names? Marjorie

Try going to http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6831/ This is not my page, but has been helpful to me. It lists all the generations of Gilbert Elam's and there spouses and children. About 30 some pages. Watch for mistakes though, I thought I had found my long lost relative only to find her married to a mis-spelled surname husband. Could cause problems for others also.

Hello, Cassie. I just looked at your webpage and noticed that you have Henry LONDON's (husband of Mary ELAM) birthplace as Mecklenburg Co., VA. Do you think anyone has proof of this, or is it just thought to be so because they were married in Mecklenburg Co.?

Barry, so it would seem that the Nunnally genealogist abstracted his information from Harvey Elam's book. I will spend some time with Powhatan County records while in the Virginia State Library today, and will let you know whether anything comes to light re: this conundrum.

John, as you've probably discovered, one of the many problems with Elam research is that there were so many named "John Elam." My father's name was "John Elam." You included the word "likely" after the two John Elam's you have in your line, and that appears to be the most applicable term! Below is a brief synopsis of my understanding of "the John Elam problem." Some of the details are confusing, and I welcome corrections - with proof. Martin Elam had a son named John. It appears likely that he is the John Elam who married, as his second wife, Martha Archer Dudley. They had no known children. There is no proof of his first marriage. If he did have a first marriage, it appears likely that he may have had a son named Samuel and a son named John. It appears likely that that John Elam may have been the John Elam who married Femariah Beville. Of the second John Elam, if he was the son of the first, only one child is definitely known and his name was Essex Elam. If John Elam, father of Essex Elam, was the son of the first John Elam, then he could not, based on the dates, have fathered any of the other Elams who have been attributed to him in various postings on this and other lists and web sites. If either of these "John Elam's" left a will, those wills have not yet come to light. If there is a Bible records showing births, or descendants of these two men, that has not yet come to light. I would be overjoyed if someone would step forward and demonstrate the John Elam lineage during the 1700's, with proof. It might be you - for I believe that the proofs we need are out there somewhere. Can you tell me the source of your belief that Joel Elam was the son of John Elam? I would really appreciate it.

John, our lines converge at Joel ELAM. I correspond with a cousin in Arizona. We are trying to confirm the tie from Joel back to John, Jr. When you say (likely) by John Jr.'s name, do you mean the dates or the tie? Do you have any proof of the tie from Joel to John, Jr.? If so, would you be willing to share the info? It would be a breakthrough to have some solid info on this tie. Thanks much.

I've just uploaded the most current version of my Elam database onto the website at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/9156/elammain.htm Many thanks to all of you who have contributed information. This by no means reflects all of the information I have received. I've still got a couple of large stacks to go through, but it had been a couple of months and I have added quite a few names. I'm up to 11320 individuals and 4077 families representing 2020 surnames! Here's hoping this helps someone make a breakthrough. I have also added two photographs of John Daniel Elam and his family which were contributed by Kent Elam. I will gladly add photos that anyone else has -- just drop me a line. The same goes for any other information that you would like to contribute. One more thing. I've also added a copy of the original handwritten pages from the Richard and Hannah Elam family bible. They're rather difficult to read, but I think they're interesting. There is an excellent transcription of them on Janet Crowley's website at http://www.webpak.net/~kyblue/elam/biblerec.htm Happy hunting! Cassie A. Elam www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/6831

Annette: Thank you for your long response concerning Elizabeth, widow of Gilbert Elam IV, their two children Josiah and Keziah, Elizabeth's remarriage to Archelaus Nunnally, and the unknown fate of Keziah. My source for Elizabeth's second marriage and maiden name, Scott, comes, alas, not from documents but a privately printed genealogy of the Nunnally family. Here it is: Shortal, Joseph Adams, "Nunnally Genealogy", Hampton, VA: mimeo, 1978 pps. 6-7 "4.12 Archelaus NUNNALLY was b in Chesterfield Col, Va. and d 1794 in Powhatan Co., Va. He m Elizabeth SCOTT in Chesterfield Co., widow of Gilbert ELAM IV, by whom she had son Josiah ELAM and Keziah ELAM. Josiah ELAM was raised by his step-father Archelaus NUNNALLY in Powhatan Co. and served in the Revolution, after which he moved to Greene Co., Ohio where he became the progenitor of a large family of Elams. (See "The Elam Family" by Harvey W. Elam.) Archelaus NUNNALLY bought 200 acres of land on the Apponattox river in Cumberland Co., Va. 24 Jun 1771. This area became a part of Powhatan Co., Va. in 1777 where, in 1783, Archelaus was listed as head of a family of eight with seven slaves. On 23 Sep 1782 Archelaus purchased 250 acres of adjoining land from the Burton estate. Then on 5 Oct 1792 he sold this 250 acres, for a token sum, to his son John, who had married a Burton daughter. Issue: (NUNNALLY) In addition I have the section from Harvey Elam's book, "The Elam Family" that has that line you quote of his being sorry about not knowing anything further about Keziah Elam. To add to the confusion, I have a different maiden name for Elizabeth w/o Gilbert IV. Someone else has sent me Ferguson as her maiden name. This Keziah, wife of James Franklin Nunnally, has been a condundrum for over 30 years. Everything points toward Keziah Elam, but nothing actually demonstrates it. I was hoping against hope that something about Keziah Elam's life and marriage might be found in this updated book, "The Elam Family". Thanks and best regards, Barry

My line: Thomas Elam (educated guess) Martin Elam (1635-1695) John Elam (Abt. 1688-1761) likely John Elam Jr. (Abt. 1710-1788) likely Joel Elam (1736-1798) Peter Elam (1767-1842) Daniel Elam (1795-1864) John Gregory Elam (1826-1914) Richard Andrew Elam (1863-1943) George Baskerville Elam (1896-1975) George Baskerville Elam, Jr. (1920-1968) Johnny Baskerville Elam (1941- ) Me Hope this helps someone.
