Elijah LEFFEW ^{1 2 3}

   Another name for Elijah was Elijah LEPHEW.

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Deed: 1806, Rockingham County, North Carolina. ⁵

Deed No. 1114, Dated 27 May 1806, Bk M:109
A sale by Sheriff John Matlock to satisfy a judgment obtained by John Dale against Elijah Lephew in the amount of 10 pounds. Elijah's 40 acres on waters of Whetstone Creek and Dan River, adjoining George Carter, Josiah Lephew and others, were sold at public sale on 18 Feb 1802 to George Carter for 10 pounds. Witnessed by Alex Sneed and John Fields.

2. Census: 1830, Franklin County, Virginia. ⁴

Leffew, Elya: 1 white male 20-30, 1 white male 50-60; 1 white female 10-15, 2 white females 15-20, 1 white female 50-60.

[From a phonetic standpoint, this could be either Elijah or Elias, but since Elias' wife Rebeckah appears as head of household in the same census, that probably means Elias had died.]

Elijah married Adelphia WEBB on 7 Dec 1807 in Franklin County, Virginia.¹
