Elmaza was Samuel Boone's first wife. He was the son of Elder Thomas Boone of Lulbegrud Primitive Baptist Church. My grandmother and I believe her name to be Elmaza, not "Edna" as shown in the 1850 census records, as two of her granddaughters were named in her honor.
AKA - Edna J. (1850 census), Elmazie (1912, granddaughter, Elmazie Harmon's death certificate), Elmazie (1929, Ira's death certificate)
