Posted by Cheryl Rumph In particular, I am seeking info on my gggg grandfather, Robert L(emuel? Lankford?) Eley, who was born b/w 1800-1810 and died about 1843 or 1844. As a result of his death, his two children by his first wife (Sally Darden, I THINK) became orphans (as per the guardian accounts of 1845). These children are Lemuel Eley (b. abt 1831) and my ggg grandmother, Cavanda "Kitty" Ann Eley (b. b/w 1828-1832 - d. ?). Following Robert's death, Robert's second, possibly third wife, Martha Ann Holland, married James M. Eley on Jan. 31, 1848. Cavanda Eley, along with Exum L. Eley, witnessed the marriage. James M. and Martha A. Eley/Ely can be found in the 1850 census report for IOW, along with their child, Mill A. Eley (age 1), and three other children, believed to be Robert and Marthas: Benjamin C. Eley (age 12), Walter H. Eley (age 10), and Martha V. Eley (age 7). What I need is Robert L(emuel? Lankford?) Eley's parents and their lines if anyone knows them. In my research, I found a Lamuel/Lemuel Eley, who I believe is the son of Mills Eley. Could this be Robert L. Eley's father?? Any help/clues would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking for tidbits of info on the Eley family, which was prominent in Isle of Wight County in the 1700 and 1800s.
