Are there any Elebys in Kemper County, Mississippi? Especially in or near the town of Dekalb? My gggrandfather Joseph Goodwin had 3 younger brothers named William, Roy/Ray, and Tom whose last name was Eleby (various spellings). Their mother was Ella Brown and they lived in Dekalb, MS. My gggrandfather moved his family to Pine Bluff, Arkansas around 1913 and no one in the family knows if he maintained contact with the Eleby side. I'm very interested in knowing why the Eleby boys were originally listed as Brown in 1890,1896, and 1900 but by 1910 their name had been changed. Also interested in connecting with any relatives.
