This is what I have on Elijah Lancaster (1829- 1908). I found this at Ancestry World Tree Project, The Kingsnet, Philip and Bonnie King. Their sources are listed and excellent: "Lancasters, 300 Years in America," "Lancasters of Trigg County," Order Book Surry Co., VA, Land Sales, Will Extracts, and others. I checked the sources I could on the internet. I made the connection through a will with Elijah's name and that he went to TN. I will start with the earliest ancestor & go down to Elijah because it's easier for me. Let me know if a date seems wrong, I'm not the best typist! 1) ?
