Hi fellow Elam researchers, I am new to this genealogy business but I have had some great results in a short amount of time; most due to the kind help of others. I would like to let you all know my lineage in hopes that someone is reserching this same line. Here is what I know for sure and then some speculation based on some pretty sound circumstantial evidence. Kent A. Elam, Jr. (me) Kent A. Elam, Sr. (1936-1989) born in Franklin county IL Kenneth Edward Elam (1916-1989) born in Union county IL Oscar Randolph Elam (1892-1954) born in Union county IL John Daniel Elam (1852-1933) born in Granville or Iredell county NC; died Union county IL John Elam (abt 1806 to abt 1875) born in Mecklenburg county VA; died in Iredell county NC The above I know for sure, the rest is theory based on some strong circumstantial evidence. Peter Elam (1771-1842) born in Mecklenburg county VA Joel Elam (1739-1798) John Edward Elam (1710-1788) John Elam (1688-1761) Martin Elam (1635-1693/94) Thomas Elam (1600-?) I am actively researching the brothers and sisters of John Daniel Elam and trying to prove or disprove my link to Peter Elam. I would be happy to share what I have with anyone interested. Kent Elam
