When Eliakim Elmer was born on April 30, 1764, in Sharon, Connecticut, his father, David, was 39 and his mother, Jemima, was 33. He married Lois Merrill on January 18, 1789, in his hometown. They had seven children in 22 years. He died on April 12, 1834, in Le Roy, New York, at the age of 69.

Col. [Samuel] Elmer told them they did not spell the name right; that it was not Elmer, but Elmore. The old gentleman would never change, but the boys ever after wrote it Elmore, according to his granddaughter Julia C. (Elmore) Hulbert.

There is a direct ancestral relationship. Eliakim (Elmer) Elmore is the great, great grand son of Edward Elmer.

Notes

N396History of the Elmore Family with Biographical Notes, "My father was an Allopathic physician. In his early practice he kept pest-houses for small-pox; and when Dr. Jenner found that the cow-pox prevented taking the small-pox, father went to Boston and learned of Dr. Waterhouse (who had received instructions from Dr. Jenner), and was one of the first to vaccinate in the United States. * * * Father died about fifty years ago; his name was Eliakim. (Jonathan Jenner Elmore, under date April 16, 1880) History of the Elmore Family with Biographical Notes, "My father's name was Eliakim. Our family had gone West to Genesee County before he died.
