Connecting the Elons

I have several Elon Carmans in my family tree:  Elon (1792-1866) ,  Elon Joseph (1840-1919) ,  Joseph Elon (1872-1956) ,  Joseph Elon (1901-1960)  in my line, and Joseph Elon (1891-1971) and  Joseph Elon (1914)  in a collateral line.

Good news / bad news

I found a new ancestor. Yay! He owned slaves. Boo! This is the first slave owning ancestor I have found.

Thomas Moore was the father of Charlotte Moore, wife of Howard Ogle.

Occupations Part 1: Conrads

It being Labor Day, I thought I would write a post about the occupations of my direct ancestors. I quickly realized it would become very long, and so have broken it down into my four main lines which I will post during this week. First, the Conrads.
