It comes from a Nuckolls County Nebraska newspaper (11/4/1909). Of the items in the story, it is interesting that they name his birth state as Indiana, not Ohio. One of Elisha's census records also says Indiana, but the rest say Ohio. Another place to look. It also says he and his family moved to Washington County, Illinois, "while still a small boy..." So that might help narrow the search for census records of him in 1850 when he was about 18. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
