Notes for ELIHU BLAIR SANDERS:
((Copied from Ancestry.com))The information I have regarding Elihu is that he was born about 1787 in Chatham Co., North Carolina and died between 1851 - 1860 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. His full name was Andrew Elihu Sanders. He married Lucinda Jane Unknown about 1813 in Tennessee. She was born about 1792 in Tennessee. Elihu, Lucinda and their 7 children moved to Lowndes Co., Mississippi near present day Steens, northeast of Columbus, Mississippi. The children's mother, Lucinda, died in 1833 in Lowndes Co., Mississippi when the baby girl, Lucinda, was born. Catherine, the oldest child of Elihu and Lucinda, had married Charles Keeton by this time and she took the baby and cared for her. Soon after Lucinda died, Elihu moved five miles south of Columbus on the bank of the Tombigbee River. His brothers Elijah B. and Reubin P. soon joined Elihu.
Elihu married Margaret Ann Unknown 5 February 1835 in Lowndes Co. and they had 8 children. She was born about 1812 in White Co., Tennessee. She was reportedly a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Some researchers have claimed that her maiden name was Rigby or Rigsby but that is disputed by knowledgeable researcher, Donald Quinn of Pascagoula, Mississippi, who is a direct descendant of Elihu. After Elihu died, she married Levi Spencer 12 October 1865 in Clark Co., Arkansas. I have additional information about Elihu and the children of his first wife and the names of the children of Elihu and Margaret. (Rootsweb Message Feb 2008)
