I think in 1850 Karen's & Jan's Elisha was in Tennessee, I had that written on the chart on my wall, that he was in the 1850 census there. This might be another Elisha as this ocurred in Ill, correct? Interesting is I have seen the name SULLIVAN in relation to SMOTHERS before, but it was earlier dates. I have a John Smither Will 1793 in Essex Co Va. In it he gives to his daughter Elizabeth SULLIVAN etc....a 100# of something he gave to her husband in 1780. The other SULLIVAN I have is listed in a will for a William SMETHER also of Essex Co Va in 1782. In this will William SMETHER give to his friend James SULLIVAN to be his Executor of his will. It is wittnessed by a Daniel SULLIVAN and also a Molly SULLIVAN. Noah, this was sent to me by Frankie Smithey a couple yrs ago. I dont know if any of this means anything, just passing it along. I have seen this name Jehu Rice before, now I have to remember where and it was recently too. I remember because my maternal grandmother's parents were RICE so I think I saved it somewhere....:o) Nena From: "Noah Smothers" <nsmother@socket.net> Estate of Jehu/Jahue M.
