The ONLY way is to follow the paper trail - without a source - any and all info MAY be
pure speculation.
There are 2 particular trees on Anc ;
1 shows
Lewis 1740 marries Hannah Horton 19th Jan 1785 which is rather specific however, if Elisha
was born 1760 then obviously, she cannot be his mother as she ould have been only 3 years
old - but could be a 2nd wife to Lewis
another shows
Lewis married 1759 (no date) to Danaris so, this would be about right but, there is
nothing to substantiate the claim
another
shows an Elisha II born 1821 BUT with a brother Aaron b 1809 - thats a big gap.... and
would get me looking for the inbetween years
there is a substantiated account of his (Elisha) militery service
so, from my perspective, There further investigations are necessary
The biggest problem with the tree's shown (for anyone), is that many are copied from
one to another and this sort of thing then just perpetuates
