  • Notes 
    • "Elijah was one of the earliest settlers along the Black River near what is now in Croswell Mich. He was a trapper in 1835. He Camped each winter to hunt and trap and each spring he took furs to the trading post near Pt Huron by walking on the ice on Lake Huron with a fur loaded sled to the St. Clair River. It's believed he returned to Canada for several springs-Historian Rosa Dumond" Letter to Joanna Waugh, Feb 2002, from Gwen Johns.
