Marilyn, What state(s) did your Joel live in? Could it possibly be Alabama? I am looking for a Joel Elam who moved to Lowndes Co Al between 1840-1850 from SC ( supposedly). I believe he died before 1850, because his three children: Solomon, John and Hapsebeth ( Happy) were found in the 1850 census. Thanks, Tonia Porter Allen-Wible, Marilyn K wrote: > I, too, am somewhat late in responding. Here is my line: > > Marilyn Allen-Wible (me) > Harry W. Allen md. Georgia P.
