Hi Tim and All Interesting name; Elim... I found some Benedicts, through usgennet @ http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/colonial/census/1840/1840ny_b.html but there is no Elim. I've heard of Elam, as a given name. If, by chance, this Elim may have been Elam, as well, this might be worth a look - I don't know: http://www.connecticutbarns.org/6192?highlight=danbury Hope you are all well John

Given that a lot of people couldn't spell back then it could be either one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JCB" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 5:38 AM Subject: Re: [NYMADISO] War of 1812 > Hi Tim and All > > Interesting name; Elim...

Maybe the name was Elwyn instead of Elim or Elam? The author of the two (or three?) volume Benedict genealogy is Elwyn Benedict so perhaps Elwyn is family given name. He lives in the Manlius area, I think. Not sure he is actively researching.
