There are a lot of documents and information on the Elams, however they all seem to be caucasian. I know there are quite a number of afri-american Elams, which I have been researching. However, there seems to be a greatly limited amount of info especially pre-1880. Were these Elams former slaves of the anglo Elams? Were there secret (or not so secret) intermarriages? I have also found Elams on the Dawes roll, so could some of the Elams listed as black or mulatto have actually been of Indian descent as well? Does anyone know if there are documents listing the names, birthdates or ages of Elam slaves, whether there have been lines of free black Elams, or indian Elams? If any one has encountered anything with the names Dora Elam (Lockett), Willie M(ae) Elam (Lockett), Budget Elam, Willis Whitehead, Jenny Elam, Jenny Whitehead, Frannie Elam, Frannie Whitehead, Dora Brooks, James Brooks all of Charlotte or Mecklinburg County, VA between the years 1860-1900, PLEASE contact me!!!!
