I am decended from Benj Elliot's son Benj. James then his son Stephen Calvin. I've identified and been to the gravesites of all the above except Benj. Elliot who I'm pretty sure is buried at Reedy River Baptist along with his wife Emily. Unfortunately, in the oldest section of the cemetary the graves are all unmarked so I'm not sure which would be theirs. There is a family Bible somewhere in the possession of a lady named Eva Chandler. I'm seeking contact with her for the purpose of photographing the family history in the Bible and making it available on-line. If anyone can help locate her I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
