Dale, do you know where your Elijah Atwater Updike originally came from, or any of the extended family names? I have a Velva Mae Atwater born in South Dakota, who married Hiram Edwards in Mclean County. and lived a short time in Kane Co. After the wedding she became Velva Atwater Edwards. She had a sister Maudella Atwater. Parents names were Julia Atwater, and Orricc Harrington. It's a long shot, but worth mentioning. debs
