  • Notes 
    • I have estimated the birth years of some of the children, based on the order in which they are named in Elisha's will.

      Some genealogies show Elisha as having an earlier wife named Mary Spencer. (needs more research)

      Elisha's father Elkanah deeded to him on 4 February 1720 a piece of land located in Warwick that he had bought from Samuel & Susannah Gorton.
