I came across a website this evening that contains some of the early Elams as well as a number of other early Southern families. Charlotte Rowden has a database of some 21,000 names at http://www.parsonstech.com/genealogy/trees/crowden/fowsndx.htm You might want to have a look. One note -- she has one branch of the family wrong. She has Gilbert Elam IV married to Sarah and Lucy. James Elam, son of Gilbert III, was actually married to Sarah and Lucy. Happy hunting! Cassie
