Good morning!
     Rev. James Elliot Davis (1816 - 1902) is buried at Zahler's Cemetery, on 
Old Salkehatchie Road (Hwy. 13), between Early Branch and Yemassee, SC.
     It is said that along either side of him are buried his second and third 
wives.
His second wife was Margaret Ann (Mariah?) Ulmer (abt. 1825 - abt. 1855). His 
third wife was Jane Elizabeth Ulmer (1838-1911). These Ulmer women were 
sisters. 
I have placed temporary markers on either side of James Elliot's tombstone 
honoring both Margaret Ann and Jane Elizabeth.
     James Elliot's first wife was Harriet McTeer 1822 - 1846). I believe she 
was a cousin to the Ulmer sisters. 
     Since I cannot confirm where the two Ulmer sisters are buried, I'd love 
to hear from any of you who may have this information. I am also interested 
in knowing the parents and burial place of Harriet McTeer.
Thank you,
Patricia Davis Runey   S
