Thank you so much, Madaline! I was not aware of the Chester Gap connection to the Elseys! Do you have any more information on that? I appreciate you trying to get the Virginia chart for me and am sorry to hear of your problems with your arm.

Frederick C. was formed in 1743 from Orange; Fauquier in 1759 from Prince William, etc. Culpeper was formed in 1749 from Orange also. These counties are part of the Chester Gap area on the Blue Ridge where some Elseys lived. Go on Google and fine a Formation of Virginia Counties chart. I tried to do this for you but have a bum arm and I'm not typing too well. Good luck. M.

My Elsey family did move from Frederick County to Fauquier County about 1770. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please contact me!
