Donna, my husband knew your Dad and remembers seeing you when you both were younger. My husband descends from your great-grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Elam. Your grandfather, David Franklin Elam was a brother to my husband's grandfather, Ed Elam so, I guess that makes y'all second cousins. Please contact me via my e-mail at elam2002@earthlink.net so that we may hopefully share our Elam Family information with one another. Thanks, Melissa
