EDWARD ELAM BIBLE RECORDS
Edward Elam was born in Charlotte County, VA in 1786. He married
1) Martha Smith and 2) Lettuce Chaffin Wallace, widow of John
Wallace. He left Charlotte County ca. 1814, may have spent some
time in Rutherford County, NC, moved on to Tennessee, and died in
Greenville, IL in 1840.
These two pages are posted in hopes they may stimulate discussion
and research. The Edward Elam Bible is reported to have been the
property of the late William Bell Elam of Medina, TN. Thanks to
Marilynn Masten, who provided copies to me and who has determined
that the current location of the Bible is unknown. Names and
dates are handwritten in list form on both pages. Identifying
information and dittos written in the same hand preceed several
of the names. Those notations are indicated here with brackets.
I have tried to duplicate this handwritten list as closely as
possible.
Two pages reported to have been copied from the Bible of Edward
Elam (1765-1840) of Charlotte County, VA and Greenville, IL
PAGE ONE - at the top are the words "Father's Bible" written in
handwriting which differs from that on the remainder of the page.
