Kamra, Sorry to take so long in getting back to you. I kind of lost your message and it just resurfaced this evening. Elijah, son of Capt. Stephen West m. Esther Loomer. I have her birthplace as Bozrah, CT, but not Elijah. My information about Elijah is hearsay from a relative who has since past away. I have no direct knowledge yet.
