Cassie, Hi again! When I sent you all I knew on my branch of the Elam/Eleam family I apparently forgot the military information. I do not claim to know much, but here goes.............Willis Farmer Eleam was in the Army in WWII, and served in the European Theatre.............James Earl Eleam, my father, was in the Army, but remained in the states as an MP. As I understand it the military tried to keep at least one son state side so that family names wouldn't get wiped out. Then there was Thomas Jefferson Eleam.........also in the Army stationed mostly in England, I believe. I also have a cousin, Gerald Eleam, son of Willis Farmer Eleam, who flew helicopers in Viet Nam, and pulled 3 tours of duty there. After his 3 tours of duty he taught other soldiers to fly helicopters. He received a couple of metals and was wounded. He acheived(?) the rank of Major, I believe, before his retirement. I have know idea where he is now. You may be able to E-Mail his brother at ddeleam@midwest.net. That is the E-Mail address I have, and as far as I know it is still good. Keep up the good work. We'll get this thing figured out one of these days!
