Elijah Ilkenfritz/Elefritz, 1795-1860, VA
My ancestor, Elijah Elefritz, lived as an adult in Hardy County, VA (now part of WV).I am told that the name Elefritz had perhaps been Ilgenfritz in Germany, from whence the Elefritz family probably came.Elijah married Elizabeth Sine, and they had a family in WV.
His origin is unknown.Perhaps he emigrated from Germany.I am wondering if anyone has information about his birth, birthplace, etc.
