Just wondering if anyone researching John Wesley McElfresh and Jacintha Davis line has come across an Elmer or Elmore McElfresh. He was my great-great grandfather and married to Susannah "Anna" Davis. I have Susannah's death certificate and it indicates that Elmore McElfresh was her husband and that John W. Davis and Sarah Ann Young were her parents.

I found Elmer/Elmore McElfresh in the 1880 census with Anna in Berlin, Bracken Co., Kentucky. Living with them was Elijah Walker -- not sure of his relationship to them, but he is also in the 1860 census with a William Feagans in Bracken Co., Ky.

The only place I seem to be able to find Elmer/Elmore McElfresh is in the 1880 census. He apparently died before 1910 as Anna was in the 1910 census as a widow in Clermont Co., Ohio. So far I have not been able to find Elmore in the 1900 census, although I am still looking. I believe he may have been one of John Wesley and Jacintha's children. I found Jacintha, listed as Cintha, in the 1880 census for Berlin, Bracken Co., Ky. with Nathan, Rice, Josephine, Milton, and Charles. I also found her in the 1850 and 1860 census with John Wesley McElfresh, but since Elmore was born in 1862, of course he would not have been there. The 1870 census for Bracken Co., Ky. is so faded I can't read it, so I have no idea if he's there.
