Hi all--I'm up to my ears in Elijah Vickerys and need help sorting them out and how and if they connect to other families in Exeter. First, the LDS data base lists an Elijah Vickery b. 1708 as married to Hannah Gilman in 1745. Second, the History of the Town of Exeter (Bell) records baptisms of four daughters of an Elijah Vickery (no wife named) spanning from 1746-1754 (p. 77)and the birth of a William (alias, Elijah) to Elijah and Lydia Vickery in 1782 (p. 64). Third, Revolutionary War records mention an Elijah Vickery as serving in Capt. Shortridge's Co (1775) and in Capt Marston's Co (1776). The name appears in other sources as well. Fourth, the census in 1790 lists an Elijah Vickery as head of household with three males unders 16 (thus all born after 1784) and three females. Are there records to straighten out all the references? Are the Elijahs all the same person? Is there a father-son connection un-documented (thus, two Elijahs)? Where is the Hannah mentioned in the LDS records and is she replaced by a Lydia without any records? Where did the first (only?) Elijah come from? A point in the next right direction will be appreciated. George
