Hello, List. I'm looking for any information on Elisha Adams and his sons, William, Prior (Pryor), John C., and Elisha Jr. There were also at least three daughters, but I have never found any names. Chalkley's "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia," makes two references to Elisha in Lee Co around 1800. He was involved in legal transactions with John and James McKenny, who may have been his inlaws (he was married to Susan McKenny.) One Lee Co Deed Abstract shows that Elisha purchased 262 acres of land from John Fulkerson on May 15, 1809. The land was described as being part of a 400 acre grant located on "west side of Trading Creek, a branch of Powels River." Sometime between 1840 and 1850 he, along with John C. and Elisha Jr, moved to Whitley Co, KY, where he died on July 7, 1858 at the age of 92 years. William stayed in Lee Co, and Prior (my g/g/grandfather) moved to Claiborne Co, TN. There is some indication that Prior may have moved back to Lee Co after 1860. I would appreciate any information on these individuals, but would especially like to know about Elisha's origin: his date and place of birth, his parents' names and place of birth, etc. Elisha was my g/g/g/grandfather. I have always been told that my Adams line originally came from Scotland. They may, however, have come by way of Ireland. Wayne Adams
