The Bible of Elisha Thomas was located earlier this month in a family descending from
Elisha's eldest son. It was published 1828 New York. It gives birth dates of Elisha,
his wife Martha and all of their children as well as some death dates and other family
info.
It says (as written):
Elisha Thomas was born in may the 11 in the year our Lord 1800
Martha the wife of Elisha Thomas was born June the 6 in the year of our Lord 1805
Elisha Thomas A Son of David thomas and Huldah Thomas Died the 24 day of may in the year
of our Lord 1853
Note that Elisha Thomas m.16 Feb 1822 Owen Co., Indiana, to Martha "Patsy"
Creech. The marriage record gives her name as Patsy Scratch. She is occasionally referred
to in the Bible as Pattsey.
This confirms WHICH Elisha Thomas was the son of David Thomas and Huldah Parsons. It was
not Elisha G. Thomas who married Rachel Rogers as was printed in a family book in 1990 on
Cromwell and Davis with inclusion of Thomases. Martha (Creech) Thomas remarried in 1856
and was still living in 1860 so Elisha did not marry twice as some others have portrayed.
Hope this lovely find clears the confusion.
