Hi again, I'm also looking for info on Elijah SHUMWAY but particularly his wife Zilpha GILBERT's Ancestry. They were the parents of Lewis SHUMWAY mentioned in my (just) last query. Upon his return from the the American Revolution, Elijah and family moved to Leverett, Massachusetts and then to Jamaica, Vermont where he was a Baptist minister and lived the rest of his days there until he met his sweet reward in 1819 at the age of 65. Having been a minister, it's quite possible that he joined his son Lewis in matrimony to Lucy SMITH. There may be some VERY old church records mouldering around back there. (I'm writing from out in Washington State.) Again it's the female I'm looking for. Zilpha GILBERT should be at least a little easier to trace than Lucy SMITH! Help, anyone. Dave B
