Hi,
I am looking for information about Elijah Carey. I would like to know the
names of his children and reported five wives etc. He was born in NC then
went on to Carroll County Tennessee and from there to Hempstead County
Arkansas where I was told he help start the Mt. Zion church there. I have
been in contact with one researcher that has some of Elijah parents etc
traced back to Maryland.
Thanks
Tawsha
