My infor about Charlotte Co. VA Elams is of an earlier era. William Elam and Edward Elam (brothers) lived in the Bluestone Creek region of eastern Charlotte Co. in the latter half of the 1700s. They each had large families, many members of whom left the area and went to other colonies (and states). William, from I descend, went to SC in about 1790. Sons John and Martin and daughter Elizabeth Elam Burress also went to SC . William's son Solomon Harmon Elam stayed in Charlotte Co. all his life. He had a large family, lived in the Bluestone Creek country, was a Revol. War vet, and died about 1842-43. I have not traced his lineage down beyond about 1800 nor have I traced Edward's. William and Edward also had a brother named Joel who lived on Irby's Creek in Mecklenburg Co., not far from William and Edward. He, too,had a large family that scattered, but some may have stayed in the area. Good luck with your research. Earl Elam
