Elijah and Elizabeth (Parker) Ide, the former born in Stockbridge, Mass., October 22, 1781, the latter in Coventry, Conn., October 12, 1787. They were married January 1, 1812. Elijah was the eldest son of Nehemiah Ide, who came to this country with his six sturdy sons about 1800, locating near Lehman Centre, on what is now called Idetown. The names of these pioneers were Elijah, Nathaniel, William, John, Nehemiah, Jr., and Oliver. Elijah settled on part of his father's estate, comprising seventy-two acres, which he improved, and on which he erected buildings and, as the land improved under his touch so he increased in usefulness and influence; he was a member of the M.E. Church, and a competent class leader in those days. While his life was not full of thrilling events, yet it was fraught with goodness and usefulness. His earthly career ended March 16, 1860, at the age of seventy-nine. Elijah Ide reared a family of six children: Elizabeth J., Lucina P., Emiline, Solomon P., Reuben H., and Sarah.
