Vera,
Elijah Lee Johns was his brother that he lived with (I think the dates are mixed up). He did
have a son named Elijah that married Allie MacElmurry.

Uncle Lige and Aunt Allie spoiled us kids rotten when we saw them. She gave us every kind of
soda or baked pie, cookies, etc. whenever we went to visit. The last time I saw Aunt Allie
they had moved to Melbourne after selling the farm.

Homer, Elijah, Arch, Jim, and my great grandmother were all children of Elijah Hawkins Johns.
I believe the middle name above Elijah Lee Johns was Uncle Lige's name. Elijah Hawkins Johns
brother must have had a different first name.

John Haley

John,

Have you seen the 1870 Fulton County census for Elijah Johns ?

Have you seen the WW I draft registration ?

Elijah Hawkins Johns
b. 1 Apr 1896 Cave, Ark
Lives at Zion, Ark

With a name like that how does he fit?

WW II draft registration 1942
Elijah Lee Johns
b. 1 Apr 1896 Izard County
residence Izard County

Birth dates are the same ? ? ?
