Biography

Elijah was born in 1777. He passed away about 1850.

Elijah and Anna are buried in a large family plot in the old town cemetery in Hubbardston. They have large stone markers that simply say "Father and Mother". Many of their children and their families are buried in this plot,

Their old homestead was still standing when I visited in 1977 however, there were plans to demolish it for the new highway.

The family name was changed with this generation. This is the correct name according to the Clan MacFarlin history.
