My sister, Christine Chelf Garrett, lives in Newport News, VA. My dad, Harris Winston Chelf, lives in VA Beach. My brother, Winston Presly Chelf, lives in Anchorage, Alaska.

First cousins of my father's also live in Virginia. I have a fair amount of history, and my father's first cousin living in Salem, VA., has LOTS more. I am also on Facebook and have found and linked over 200 Chelf's there. You can contact me directly at hodgesmba@aol.com, or through FB at Cynthia Chelf Hodges.

I am researching the Chelf family. My husband is descended from Simeon Dickens Chelf whse father was Franklin E. Chelf descended from William M. Chelf who was descended from Elias Chelf.
I keep seeing that Elias Chelf was born in 1761 but his parents didn't married until 1764. It is possible that he was actually born after 1764.

Re: Chelf

tnvjeff1 — 2007-10-29 23:00:36Z

Thre is a Dollie Celf born in 1855 but I have never seen her referred to as Sarah Elizabeth. This Dollie Chelf is the daughter of Franklin E. Chelf and Delilah Dickens. She had 13 sibs including myhusband's ancestor, Simeon Dickens Chelf.

I have a Barbara Yager b 7 Sep 1730 in Spotsylvania Co Va. She marr an unknown Chelf. I realize this is a little earlier time frame than yours but there may be a connection. He could be the father of your Elias.
Barbara was the dau ofAdam Yager Sr. & Susan Kobir. Barbara was also marr to Peter Clore in 1747. So Chelf must have been her 2nd husband. Peter Clore died abt 1763.

You may want to look at JELF as a spelling variant. My line apparently change the spelling to JELF and they came to IN from KY.(Woodford Co. area). The change took place apparently between Phillip CHELF and his son Isaac JELF. His brothers and sisters stayed as Chelf.
