Hi Dale, I just spoke with Grace Elben in MD who gave me your name. She says you married her daughter. I just searched for your name +Elben and got to this website. I married Gary Elben and we live in CA. I have done quite a bit of research on his line, but would really like to know if the family was from Germany, Estonia, Czechoslavakia, or England. Regards, Mara French Elben

I'm looking for a Scott Elben who married Lillie D. Ratcliff Brown on April 11, 1888. They had two children: Jessie Bertha Elben (1889-?) and Joseph Mathew Elben (1890-?) in Iowa. I assume he died before 1900 because his wife and children are living with her parents in the 1900 census.

Scott Elben Ohio to Marengo, Iowa County, Iowa

Sandy:

I've been in touch with Jack Morter, who also has Scott Elben, and Mary Elbin who had married a Morter. I've not been able to connect Scott to my William Elben, who had married Ruth Fowler, from Northbridge, MA. William's parents were, from information I recently received, were William Elben and Margaret Dush. Whether they were connected to Scott or not, I hav not made the connection.

Thanks for inquiring..

I have your Wm. Elben in my tree. Would be willing to share what I have. Wm. T. was born in 1842- N.J. father was Wm. T. and Mother Mary A. ? Wm (1842) married Georgeanna Mann, daughter of Joseph and Susan Mann of Andersontown, Md. Their son Wm. Sherman married Hannah Truax Rash, their daughter Anna Mae Elben married Harry Cooper Hopkins....they were my greatgrandparents. I have other info if you need it. I knew they owned a mill (Ihave one of the old paper flour sacks from Tuckahoe Roller Mills when Fletcher C. Elben ran it) I never heard about the bootlegging...would like to hear more!!!! I also have an old picture of William Sherman Elben and his wife Hannah Truax Rash...he was either very short or she was very tall.
