{Personal information}
This one I know a little about-- Eli was my gg grandfather
Eli was born Nov 8, 1852 in Carter Co, KY son of Alfred G. and Dicey Mullins.  
He married Mary Ann Long,  Nov 5, 1874 in Carter CO, KY.  
He and Mary Ann were burried in the Fortner Cemetery in Denton, Carter CO, KY.  
I have a picture taken about 1908 of Eli's sons and daughters and 
another of him and Mary and all their grandchildren. Both photos were 
taken the same day.   Information I have on his children are as follows:

Alfred G (b. 1875)
John Edward (1880-1937)
Andrew Jack (bet 1878-1880  - Mar 28, 1938)
Jahu Donehoo (Sep 11, 1881 - May 29, 1916)  ~ my g grandfather
Eli G. (1894 - 1968)
Mary Bertha (b. 1892)

I believe Alfred predeceased his parents, but I don't know why Jack was 
left out and I don't know the other two girls' first names...  maybe next 
trip home I can find out.
