Dear Ken:
Hooray! Eli is our mutual forefather and I have some further infothat you must not have.
Great Aunt Anna Halladay Anderson wrote two pages ofHALLADAY history for me and I'll quote it for you. This was written in the 1950's.

In 1803 Ohio became a State. In 1816 Eli & Cathrine Halladay brought their family to Ohio, following a "blazed trail", & settled in GreenfieldTownship Huron County Ohio. He helped form the government of the County. My grandfather Horace Kent was 19 when he came to Ohio with his parents. Their 2 other children George & Cathrine died and are buried in Greenfield Township.
In1835 Eli 71 & his wife & son Horace and wife Pheobe Carpenter with Horaces 3 children George, Henry & Elizabeth moved to Erie Co. and settled on a farm 2 1/2miles south of Huron Ohio.

======================================================================
Note: I typed this as written, spelling and all. Horace's 3rd son, Clark and Susan (Tyler) Halladay is my line. My father was Russell Halladay Washburn and his mother Charlotte(Halladay) Washburn died in childbirth when he was 3 yrs. old. He was taken to KS and raised by Charlotte and Anna's sister, Edith
Halladay Smith & husband. Aunt Anna was wonderful to keep in touch with, besides we shared birthdays (and also with Daniel-Feb. 26, 1736). She was a DAR member using all the above information.

Do you have further information on the early HALLADAYs: Walter, William, William and Daniel? Where in Scotland did they live? I've been toScotland several times and always wondered just where they were from. Beautiful country.
I'm anxious to hear more from you.
