I am looking for my great grandfather. I don't know his given name but his surname was Elam. He was married to my father's grandmother. My father was born 1898 in Bradley co. ark. He died in 1994. His mother was Nola Elam from Van Buren Ark. A few years before he died I asked him questions about his mother.He said she was a Elam before married. Her mother was a Jones from Joplin Mo.(jasper co.) Her father(Elam)left her and her mother when she was a small child. He went to La. and married someone there. He had several children. One was mytrle, who married Walter Scott. of Franklin Parish. Daddy told me some things about Walter Scott. I believe my greatgrandfather was Henry Clayton Elam that you and Benjamin E. Achee Jr. are speaking of. Would like to correspond with you to see if they are the same Elam's. Nola
