In genforum message #88 you may remember this John Greb that posted a message that a John sr b 1748 was Elisha's father, and that a James b 1728 was John's father, with a wife name Mary. Was just revisiting some ole data exploring the Nelson connection. Wonder what ever happend to Greb and dont think we ever did really make contact on his information. Elisha Smothers Author: Lynn Ewing Date: 24 Jan 2003 10:59 AM GMT Email: laewing@ix.netcom.com I've heard that it was Sullivan, but I've really found no proof to substantiate that name, so for now, I'm leaving it blank. I also heard that she may have been the daughter of General John Sullivan of the American Revolution, but checking on his family, I don't find a Sarah. I've also heard different names for Elisha's parents as well. Has anyone come up with the maiden name of Elisha's first wife, Sarah? I've heard Sarah's maiden name may have been Sullivan? My line is Elisha & Sarah Elija & Lucinda (either Roach or Taylor?)
