Geo or Wm Elam
I have been searching for 11 years for my great grandfather Geo or Wm Elam.I am not sure what his first name was.His son John’s death certificate lists his name as "Wm" and his son Henry’s death certificate lists his name as "Geo".I know of only 4 of his children but am sure he had more because my grandfather was reported to be his 7th son. He was married to Mary Madden.
Children that I know of were -
John J -b. 1868, Weakley County, Tennessee - d. 1918, Hope Arkansas - wife’s first name may have been Sarah
Henry George (my grandfather) -b. 1870, Tennessee - d.. 1932, Obion County, Tennessee - married Mary Jane Yates
Mary Magdalene -b. 1871- d. abt 1928 - married Thomas Whitt
Patrick, b. abt. 1878. - was living in Detroit, MI in 1932 - wife’s first name may have been Minnie.I also believe that Patrick and his family ended up in California. Years ago, my aunt was in contact withhis daughter Irene who lived in California.
Any info on this family of Elam’s will be greatly appreciated.
