Elijah married Susannah Hathaway, 24 Apr 1822, Lebanon, Wilson Co, TN. They are said to have had three sons, although the following will specifically says "my two sons". If the online database is correct, there were first-born twins, and probably William did not survive since he is not mentioned in the will.
