Elijah A. Scates is my great-great-grandfather. He was born on 28 September 1828 near present day Dresden, Weakley County, Tennessee. The following year the family moved to the Wilder Community, near current New Zion Community (aka: Big Buck) in the 19th District of Carroll County, Tennessee. His brother, Lafayette was born there in 1830, as were the rest of his younger siblings. Elijah was an elder of Zion Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Big Buck.
