I am still searching for anybody who would happen to have any of the following people in their genealogical files or families. I would even be interested in the old stories handed down from grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Pictures would be a wealth of information also.

The line I am searching for seems to hide very well from me. The only children from this line that we have any information on is William Riley, and John Richard. No other information exists as far as I can tell from anyone else which is why I am looking for assistance.

Absalom Eledge m. Mary McBryan March 1844 in Andrew County Missouri.

They had the following children and have been documented via census records between Andrew County Missouri and Doniphan County Kansas.

William Riley Eledge b. Sept. 17, 1846
Edward or Edmond Eledge b. About 1849
Mary J. Eledge b. About 1852
Nancy A. Eledge b. About 1854
John Richard Eledge b. October 1856
Elizabeth C. Eledge b. About 1859
Emma E. Eledge b. About 1864

Also Mary McBryan was the daughter of Nancy McBryan also of Missouri around that same time. Can not find any parent information for Absalom.

Any assistance, records, pictures or stories for any of the people listed above would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
