Profiles Mentioned:

1. There are not records that state Elijah name is Elijah Louis -- it is made up 2. No records that state wife is Sarah--most genealogist would understand it makes no sense for a man living in N.C. Fighting in N.C. to marry in Delaware. Plus there is an Elijah living in the same town as the marriage
2. Joseph appears as a child of Elijah, Jr. He first appears in White County.
3. National Archives has a document on file. The administrator of Elijah's estates filed a legal document that states Elijah's children are:
WIlliam, Elijah, Littleton, Robert, Nancy Reeves family- Nancy Hooten, and Susannah.
4. Documentation on John states his father fought at Cornwallis's surrender. Read Elijah's pension request -- He did not fight there.
