Seeking descendants of CHANDLER Norment Elam (1790-1862) and Tabitha Catherine HARRIS (1795-1860). My great-great grandmother, SARAH Emily Elam (1822-1891) was one of their eleven children. Am interested in descendants of her ten brothers and sisters who were named IRENE, JAMES, RUEBEN, JOEL, THOMAS, MARTHA, WILLIAM, RICHARD, HILLIO and TYREE. Also would like to correspond with anyone doing Elam research who is a descendant of one of the nine children of Sarah Emily Elam and William Russel LOONEY (1819-1882). Any info would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I am researching the family of ALFRED Martin Elam, my g-g-great grandfather. He was born 12-9-1816 in Cambell Co. Va. Family tradition has it that his mother's name was Linda BASSETT but I have no documentation of that Alfred lived in Sioux City, IA and raised his family there, later moving to Cherokee Co. KS. He and his wife Catherine BLACK Elam are buried in Asbury, MO. If any of this sounds familiar, contact me; I have all nine of their children's names and birth dates.

Elvira MCCULLOUGH, born in Virginia 16 Oct 1816, was a daughter of JAMES E. Elam. In 1840 James E. Elam was living in Cherokee County, Alabama. ELVIRA Elam married Samuel H. McCullough in Cherokee County. Could this James E. Elam be the James Easter Elam that was born to JOEL Elam and Mary Ann EASTER? The dates are about right. Does anyone have any information about James Easter Elam and family?
