Hi, Cousin! Yes, Jeremiah and Elijan were brothers, sons of Joseph, and they had a third brother, Michael, who died young, leaving a widow, but no children. Elijah is my great-grandfather; his son, George, married Eva Belle Benedict, became parents of six (my father being the youngest). There are also a couple of Annises who married two of Eva's older sisters -- an uncle and nephew, I think. I have the information -- but it's buried somewhere in a box that never got unpacked after we moved back from Grand Rapids. It sounds like we can help each other. I'm leery about giving out my email address on the internet, but here goes:
