After a two week intermission, we're back to Elisha's life. Just in time for it to end.
Elisha continued to buy and sell land throughout the years he was in Robertson County.[1] Elisha stayed in Robertson County at least until late 1830 when he appeared in the census in Robertson County, Tennessee.[2] Sometime before his death, it appears he moved to Montgomery County to live with his son Jeremiah. Elisha died on 10 April 1839 at the age of 79 in Woodlawn, Montgomery County, Tennessee. He was buried on 12 April 1839 in their Family Farm Cemetery, Montgomery County, Tennessee.[3]

11 children is a lot. I can't imagine the number of descendants this number of people could generate. You have done a great job finding information in older records. I am grateful that land records exist.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing how you did the citations- this will be useful for me.
ReplyDeleteI have pictures of headstones for Samuel and Mary Louise, and Rev. Richard and Francis Jane if you'd like them.
ReplyDeleteI would love pictures! Thanks for offering! Are they on your Ancestry.com tree? I could get them from there.
