Notes for ELIAS FAUBION: From Faubion and Allied Families, page 577: Elias Faubion, according to the Meredith legend, was the oldest son of Spencer and Frankie, and a wagoner who freighted supplies for the settlement to and from Baltimore (Maryland). It is told here that he was preparing for a freighting trip to Baltimore just before the youngest son of this family was due to be born, and when asked by his mother, he suggested the name Hezekiah. As this legend goes, it was on this trip Elias died of yellow fever at Baltimore, never seeing his young brother and it is told that William Meredith, who later married Elias' sister Nancy in Clay County, Missouri, took Elias' place in the freighting business. Pangle says Elias died in 1833, but Hezekiah was born in 1831.

Spencer Faubion, born 1787 in Fauquier County, Virginia. Occupation Farmer. He married Frances Holland. He moved to Missouri in 1836, buying 150 acres from Silas & Amanda Jones on the NW1/4 of Section 8, Township 51, Range 32. He sold a portion to the school district on June 11, 1837 which erected a school named in his honor "Faubion School." He probably moved to Missouri because of favorable reports from relatives already there. According to a family story, he immigrated to Missouri to join with cousins and members of the Meredith family, immigrating to Missouri via Indiana.^[10][11]
