Hello Ray!
I think that we may very well have a connection! I'm attaching here a short synopsis of what I currently have. Our two Elishas definitely sound like the same person. I'd love to see what else you have so that wwe may find a connection. I've been trying hard to find more on these Samuels, but living in Northern California makes it a bit difficult. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Zane T. Mc Intosh
Northern California

Generation No. 2
2. EDWARD (SAMMILLS?)2 SAMUELS (ELISHA1) was born Abt. 1823 in St. Clair County, Alabama, USA, and died May 1872 in Gordon Valley, Napa County, California, USA.

Notes for EDWARD (SAMMILLS?) SAMUELS:
Came out West on horseback (Benicia, Rockville, Fairfield, Wragg Canyon) in 1852. Came back again.
"Edmond and Mary sold their land, animals, and furnishings, and in the early Spring of 1852 started the great trek to California. They traveled to St. Joseph, Missouri by river steamer. There they purchased a covered wagon, a team of oxen, and provisions. They joined a wagon train where leaders were elected and rules and regulations were adopted. The trail led up the Platte River to Fort Laramie, detouring to Salt Lake City to allow the wagon trains to obtain fresh animals and provisons. After following the Humbolt River in Nevada, the trail went through the dreaded Humboldt sink, a fifty mile stretch of barren desert. They then traveled over the Sierras by the new Carson River Pass since the older Donner Pass was still regarded with dread. Edmond settled on 160 acres in Gordon Valley in the southeastern corner of the Napa Valley."
