Many of you have tried to help me on my Parham lineage to no avail - I finally had a chance to go back to the library for Census Records and I was able to piece together the mystery from these assorted documents. Thank you for those that helped me locate "Sherach, Sheddrick, Chadwick, Shadraq" (my great-great grandfather) this helped me confirm that my great grandfather went by more than one name as well. Elliott Parham (Eli or Elruth - whatever you know him by) was married to Idella Hall (Della).
