I am still looking for the family of my ggg grandfather Berryman (or Benjamin) McDaniel born Dec1788 in VA and raised in KY. Does anyone know of a McDaniel marrying a Berryman? It is common in my family to use maiden names as first names. OR does anyone know of a McDaniel close friends with Benjamin Berryman Jr, who was a prominent planter in King George and Fauquier Co.VA? BB Sr was prominent planter in Westmoreland Co. VA Maybe McDaniel was an indentured servant? OR does anyone have a Benjamin McDaniel in their family line or has seen a Benjamiln McDaniel? Berryman used Benjamin until he was married and raising children in AL. Thanks

"FYI" Copy to the Group: Elam Surname Origins and Heritage (Oriented to the Elams of Eastern Kentucky). If any one has any information to add to the Elam name origin - it would be most welcome. Note: I first sent the note below to a young student who was studying her family tree as a part of a school project. It is a pretty good summary of Elam heritage. Of course the full history is much more detailed. I'll send the long story when I finish it one of these years. Written by Joe Greene (Elam / Manning of Morgan Co. KY on my mother's side - Green / Anderson / Gose of Magoffin Co. on my father's side). ****************************************************** Elam Origins and Heritage ****************************************************** Dear Sarajane - I just saw your September 2001 post on Ancestry.com. It may be too late to help you with your school project - but I can give you some information on the origins of the Elams and the surname Elam. My grandmother and grandfather were Elams from Eastern Kentucky and I have done much research on the family. Below is some information that I typed up for some other Elam family members. ************* Keep in mind that prior to about 1000 A.D. (give or take a couple hundred years or so) common people of what is now England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and all of Europe - did not use surnames. Everyone was just John, Susan, Mary or James or whatever. But a growing population and greatly increased travel within a broader region caused people to have to identify themselves more exactly - too many Johns, Susans and the like - real confusing. So surnames (family names) developed from "place names", trade names and names after the father and adoptions of names from a few other sources. The name Elam (as in the Elamites) is clearly stated in the Bible. But, no one in these modern times really believes that there is any connection to the Scott/English surname Elam. The Elamites of the Bible, to my knowledge, were not related to the Jews. The land of Elam was an area that would make parts of what is now modern day Iran and Iraq. The Elamites had several long wars with the Persians (the Iranians of today). But still no connection to the current surname Elam can be established - it is just not plausible. The Elams came to America from England (originating very possibly from the area in and around Kent) and very possibly Scotland - (Edinburgh) at an earlier date - then later through England over time -- then later to the Virginia Colony in America. The formation of the name Elam is supposed to have gone like this: It is a "place name" - named in reference to a family that lived under the Elms in a small village (or hamlet as it would have been called). Over many years, starting up to a 1000 years ago, the name would have been by contracted by everyday usage into Elham or something close (as in Elm and Hamlet) - referring to a family village under the Elm trees. This all seems quite plausible and parallels the development of many English / Scottish / Irish surnames. The first recorded Elam arriving in the Virginia English Colonies (that I can find) - arrived in the mid 1630's in Henrico Co. (Virginia Colony). He was Robert Elam - sometimes referred to as Robert "The Immigrant". His daughter Ann Elam married a man (probably a distant cousin) named Gilbert Elam. This started the most significant line (numbers wise) of the Elams in America. Over the next hundred years or more, Elam rom Virginia migrated to Eastern Kentucky. There were 3-4 clans of these Virginia Elams originally settling mostly in and around Morgan County. I am of the opinion most Elams of today in America are related to the Robert/Ann/Gilbert line in one way or another. There were other origins of Elam lines in America - some arriving as late as the mid 1850's. Some Elams may have arrived in America in the New England Colonies - I just have not found any record of that happening. To my knowledge none of the other Elam lines outside of the one started by Robert produced any where near the numbers of decedents as came from Robert Elam via his daughter Ann and her husband Gilbert Elam. There is much more - but this is what I have time for right now. Good Luck on your project. Cordially - Joe Greene
