Just to annoy future generations of genealogists, Elisha and Sarah's son Elisha married a woman also named Sarah BARTLETT! She was a distant relative of the Sarah mentioned above. This Sarah was a descendant of John ALDEN and Priscilla MULLINS, so that family is documented in "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations", Vol. 16 Part 1: John Alden. I'm not sure how much that has on the elder Elisha and Sarah though. The elder Sarah was a great granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Richard WARREN, though, so presumably this family is written up in "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations", Vol. 18 Part 1: Richard Warren. But I haven't checked. These families also appear in "Genealogical and Biographical Record of New London County, Connecticut", J. H Beers & Co. (Chicago, Illinois, 1905) p. 833, though with essentially no documentation. I have a plausible but not proved line back to these Elishas via the younger's (probable) son Samuel HOLMES, who lived in the North Parish of New London, Connecticut (what is now Montville).
