Narrative
ELIHUE STURGILL was born in Grayson Co. VA before his parents were married and was raised by his grandfather William Sturgill so he carried his mother's name instead of his father's. When his grandfather left Grayson Co. 1831-32 Elihue moved with the family to Wise Co. then to Carter Co. KY and on to Lawrence Co. OH where he grew to manhood.
It is not known whether Elihue married his first wife Mary --- in Ohio or in Hardin Co. IL where they made their first home as no record of this marriage has been found. All of their children were born in Illinois.
After Mary died Elihue moved back to Lawrence Co. OH where he married a widow, Sarah Lowderback Holmes and where their children were born. He died in Jackson Co. OH in 1897 but his place of burial is unknown to the writer. - pg 125
