looking for any info. i can find on mary abigal blijah or elijah not sure how the last name was spelled. I do know that she was born about 1821/1822 and died in may 27 1888 and is buried in sandusky, iowa. she married james haney and he is also buried in sandusky. they had the following children sarah ann haney who married lemuel andrews. emma haney who married edwin fowler. and the last child was william haney who married lottie mckibben. I believe that there were 12 others but have no names for them.

I do know that mary and james were married on christmas day in 1852 in canada.

anyone with info on this family please write back as i can go no farther back on mary's side.

thanks paula

I would go back to New York state- re- Lewis Elijah (1st) ( prior to 1835) a family in which Lewis Elijah the( 2nd) was a child ( of 12 or 13 children)-I believe that she was a sister to Lewis Elijah the 2nd . If this is true then 2 of the brothers settled at Clarance , Iowa and at least one of them at Morocco, Indiana . I have some of info on this family but will not be working on it again until - probably January. Sincerely Terry - keep in touch if this is the correct link .

Terry, I would like to get in touch with you. These are my ancestors and I'd like to compare notes.

I will help where ever I can( Elijah) . As I have many pictures and can trace the family back to before the revolutionary war. As well as one lead that I am trying to fill in that goes back to the euphrates river area in ( 1360) yes 1360. This is a very Large family with over 8000 members over 20 years ago and has to be even larger today .- Terry
