HUSBAND NOTES:
Elisha Bergeron was probably born about 1748 or slightly before in Beaufort or Craven County, North Carolina. A poll tax listing of Dobbs County, North Carolina in 1769 documents Elisha as the son of Elias. A 1780 taxpayer list of Dobbs County, North Carolina list Elias Bergeron and John Bergeron as taxpayers. Elisha is not listed, perhaps because he was fighting in the Revolutionary War or perhaps had moved to South Carolina.
