Joyce, Thank you for the reference you provided. In this case, Elias' widow would have needed to return to NC after the Elias in my direct line died between 1840 and 1850 in what is now Saline County, IL. It is possible, but I'm not sure how likely. I will check this further to see what I can find. Thank you again. I appreciate your help.
