About a year ago I was sent this little tidbit -- I thought I'd posted this 4 days ago, but I don't think it ever went through. If it did, sorry for the duplication. ********************************************** "Court of Oyer and Terminer, Court held for Amelia County on June 17,1785. Examination of Martin Elam, late of the county of Lunenburg on suspicion of his having harbored and concealed John Burton, a horse stealer." I think this is my Martin ELAM, who had married Mary PHILLIPS in 1775 in Lunenburg Co. VA and moved to Chester Co. SC by November 1789. But I want to make sure he's mine. Does anyone else claim the above Martin ELAM? :-) Does anyone know more about John BURTON? I appreciate any help on this. Vickie Elam White 102657.1616@compuserve.com
