Elijah b. 1789 Chester Co SC
I have done a great deal of research on the Holyfields of West TN (McNairy, Chester, Madison and Hardeman counties)and of Prairie Co AR area. I feel these all tie together and have a transcription of an 1866 letter, which pretty much verifies my line to W.R. Holyfield in Tishimingo Co MS in 1850, two of his sons marrying in Prairie co AR several times, and buried in Prairie Co. W.R. was deceased by 1866, according to the letter, and I do not find that family in 1860, but do find his widow in 1870. If someone has verification that Elijah or Elisha b 1789, Chester Co SC is the ancestor of W.R., I would appreciate it. The fact that Elijah was born in SC, and d in NC, according to some researcher's records, puzzles me, and he is attributed to many sons born in TN, both p b TN too.
If Elisha is also the father of Jacob, who I think was John H's father, I have a great deal on John's family, and am in touch with two descendants in Prairie Co AR.
