Elmer Eli:
Born 1815, , , , MD USA
Reference number: 15592
He and his wife were having chuldren by 1834 according to information from S. Hollis@@worldnet.att.net. However his age is listed at age 38 in an 1860 census, making his birthyear only 12 or 13 years previous to 1834. In the 1830 census for Belmont Co., OH he is likely the son who was age 10-15 years of age. I highly suspect that he was not having children by 1834.
