Dear Elam Cousins; Here is the line I'm working on: DeWayne Wallace- Elaine Barrus Elton Wallace- Jeanette Miniard Guy Wallace- Ruby Fallin Dock Wallace- Maggie Marchbanks William K. Wallace- Sarah Medline Elam William Elam- Elizabeth Haley William Elam died in Warren Co., Tennessee 1850-1860. Unsure about his parentage. Thanks, DeWayne Wallace dewayne@apex2000.net

Barry -In your post below, you have that Elizabeth, widow of Gilbert Elam, and mother of Josiah and Keziah, married Archelaus Nunnally and that Elizabeth may have had the maiden name "Scott." Also, that Keziah Elam may have married James F. Nunnally. One of the many problems with Elam research is missing marriage records. The marriage records of Chesterfield County begin in 1771. Powhatan County marriage records begin in 1777. The gap between the formation of Chesterfield County, in 1749 and the 1771 date for existing marriage records causes many headaches. In his 1933 book, "The Elam Family" with Special Reference to Josiah Elam and His Descendants, Harvey Elam wrote, regarding Gilbert Elam, Jr., "I am very sorry that I have been unable to learn more about Elizabeth Elam, his wife, or Keziah Elam, his daughter. It is said that Elizabeth Elam afterwards married Archelaus Nunnally, a resident of Powhatan County, VA. Her subsequent history is unknown to me." Note the word "said" in Harvey Elam's paragraph. Archelaus Nunnally was the son of John Nunnally. John Nunnally's daughter Jane married a Gilbert Elam - but not the Gilbert who was father to Josiah and Keziah. At present, all I am aware of for the Gilbert Elam who fathered Josiah and Keziah is: "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 childred. 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." I am hoping that there's a record somewhere to prove the remarriage of Josiah's mother, Elizabeth, and also possibly a record of the fate of Keziah Elam. Can you tell me the source of your information re: Elizabeth and Keziah? Thanks in advance, Annette Elam Wetzel.

Dear Glenn and Frank - or Anyone who has the book "The Elam Family": I am interested in obtaining the book, "The Elam Family", myself. However I am reluctant to do so. My entire Elam line hangs by a slender thread of hearsay, deduction and guess work. Before I spend $50.00 I would appreciate one little look up. Is there any mention of the marriage of Keziah Elam (b. c. 1753), daughter of Gilbert Elam IV (d. c. 1765 Chesterfield Co VA)?? She was the sister of Josiah Elam from whom the Ohio Elams descend. Both Keziah and Josiah Elam were raised in the household of their step-father Archelaus Nunnally (b. Chesterfield Co., d. 1794 Powhatan Co VA). Their mother Elizabeth (I have maiden name Scott) remarried to Archelaus. I have been told but have never proved that Keziah Elam married one James Franklin Nunnally (b. 3 Jan 1760 VA, d. 15 Feb 1838, Elbert Co GA) first cousin once removed from the said Archelaus. I know from other sources that James Franklin Nunnally married (1st) someone named Keziah who died before 1810, as he remarried in 1810. But I have not been able to prove or find any resource concerning Keziah's maiden name. Your help would be gratefully appreciated, Barry Michie Manhattan, KS

Rutheim, You asked which County my John was born in. One source says John was married to Martha Archer & the son of Richard (b. 1759 m. Phebe) and was born in Chesterfield C., VA. This then takes us all the way back to the first Robert in Henrico Co., VA. Some of this research is speculation & there are errors, so I'm skeptical. Another source, which I am more inclined to believe, says John Elam married a Sarah Adams and was the 9th child of Richard & Sarah Elam. But I don't know a county for this one. Shari Cox

Sorry to take up list space with this, but someone emailed me with a message that read something like, "I am researching Elam, which lines are you researching?" I thought it was a message to the list and deleted it, but instantly realized it was a private email to me. Would whoever sent it email me again? Thanks.
