I just found a copy of the Ela family genealogy book. My father, it looks like his handwriting, wrote some notes. We are on page 30, #54. John H.(6) Ela, (Enos (5), Israel (8), Samuel (2), Israel (1). My father noted that Martha J. Cleasby was born 1829. That:
i. Martha Jane, had 2 children but gave them away.
ii.Mary Frances (b.1847) (they called her Aunt Frank) didn't have any children.
iii. John H. (b.1849) unmarried
iv. Charles C. (b.1851), unmarried.
(next to John and Charles he notes Boy b. 1855 and Caroline 1957.
v. Varnum, m. Etta J. Stearns.
(this is where I come in)
Varnum and Etta had a daughter,
Lelia Carrie, b. June 3, 1884, she married Bertram Clark June 2, 1903 or 1904. They had a son Ralph, b. 9/10/1907 (I know she was also married to Walter Bunker, I don't know what happened to the Clark's)
Etta and Varnum divorced, supposedly by Varnum the notation states. Then Etta J. Stearns moved down a bit on the line and married
vii Joseph R., b. June 3, 1861. They had:
Inona Marguerite Ela (we called her Nonie)
b. 4/22/1898 d. 1956( or so)
John Francis Ela, b. Feb. 1, 1900, d. Feb. 18, 1902
Josiah Beecher Stearns, b. Feb. 17, 1905, d. 1997 (my grandfather)
Eleanor Louise Ela, b. August 26, 1907, d. 1998/9 (?)
m. Elmer Johnson, 1 daughter Nancy
Josiah Beecher Stearns Ela m. Rauhau Willhelmenia Mark (known to everyone as Ruth Mark) b. Feb. 23, 1910, d. 4/2000.

They had two sons:
1. John Stearns Ela, b. 8/19/1928, d. 7/1990
m. on 8/21/191948
Lois Elaine Robinson, b. 9/5/1929, d. 9/7/1987
They had 5 children (my family)
and
2. Robert Josiah Ela b. July 16, 1930
m.
Marilyn Goerman
They had 2 sons
1. James
2. Jay
