My Mothers notes:
He was a moonshiner in Kentucky during the 1800's. From there he moved with his wife, Sallie, and their 13 children, to the Boston Mountains in Arkansas where he started farming.
_________________________________________________________________________He was my (Roxie) g-grandfather and he was the grandfather of V.N. Phillips, author of "Coming Down Cumberland"
Elihu was born at his parents home in the Cumberland valley of Letcher, Co, KY
It seems that during the Civil War Elihu had stayed on several occasions with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Maggard, whose husband was hiding out in the rugged mountains surrounding their upper Cumberland Valley home. Late one night a band of bushwhackers came to the Maggard cabin and forced Elihu, who was about 9 yrs old, to "fan up the fire" for them. as he knelt wielding the turkey wing fan over the coals, one of the band became impatient and placed the muzzle of his gun at the back of Elihu's head and threatened to "blow him into the fire" if he didn't hurry. But another of the bushwhackers chided his companion for his rash act and made him remove the gun.
On another occasion other bushwhackers, in an effort to force Elihu to tell where his brother Henry was hiding, made him walk between the horses upon which 2 of them were mounted, each with a gun pressed against the sides of his head. Finally one of them made Elihu smell the muzzle of his gun and asked him if he could smell the sea grass (gun powder). One can scarcely imagine the emotional effect that such occurrences must have had upon one so young.His brother, David, made for him a fine muzzle loading rifle, which somehow was given the name "Haner Moss".
He remained with his widowed mother 2 yrs after the death of his father.
He was a Moonshiner in Kentucky in 1800's.
Had 13 children.
He moved to the Boston Mtns. in Arkansas and started farming.
