Notes

• Mother's name may be Sarah Grover according to several sources.
• Walker source also gives Salome's birth as 23 May 1781 rather than 23 Jun 1781 and has an addition child born in 1780.
• Walker source gives all children except Chester born in Vermont, but given when Elijah moved this is unlikely to be correct.
• Bourne source gives death in Amherst, which I have used for now, but I think is probably incorrect given when Elijah moved to Vermont.
• IGI has wife as "Murcy Goode"
• The "Ancestors of Elizabeth Lorena Warren" source has this about the mother's name: "The Elmer Book, compiled the Rev. William Wallace Johnson has the wife of Edward Elmer as Sarah, daughter of Isaac Grover. Unsubstantiated, but listed in most other records I have come across, is that Sarah Graves was married to a ??? Grover prior to being married to Edward Elmer. The Rev. may have been in error stating that Sarah was the daughter of Isaac Grover." which could explain the Grover name that appears in some places (but never without also saying "or Graves" and often showing Graves ancestors.
• Wife Mercy Goodale was the sister of Eleanor Goodale who married Silas Wright. This would make Silas Wright Elmer's parents Chester Elmer and Lucretia Wright first cousins.
