Notes for William Lewis & Elizabeth (Family)
Morgan Co. marriage book 1, p. 125, records marriage on 24 Jan 1853 of William L. Elam and Elizabeth Ellington.

Both James Elam Sr. and Jeremiah Elam had sons named William who were 16 in the 1850 census. This is almost certainly one of the two, but I don't know which.
