Elijah married Elizabeth Allen on 23 Mar 1818 in Clinton, East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Elizabeth was born on 18 Dec 1802 in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Dale Rubel shows she was born in East Feliciana Parish, LA as a daughter of William ALLEN and Hannah A. PRIDE of Virginia. However, he notes that one of his daughter's tombstone indicates father as John Allen more research to be done in this area. Connee Kroeger (clbkroeger@aol.com) cannot confirm first name of John, many records indicate that he was known as William Allen. She may have been born in Mississippi versus Louisiana.

Notes:

It is said the Rev. Smith had 4 wifes and 23 children in total. He was a Methodist Minister and a veteran of the War of 1812. His tombstones notes that he was a "Private Miss Militia, War of 1812." It is not certain whether he was born in Virginia or South Carolina.

William married Nancy Huse about 1824 in Mississippi. Nancy was born before 1806; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
