ELIHU CREECH 

     I was born in Lee County, Virginia, February 17, 1816.  My father's
name was Elijah.  He raised 22 children, 11 sons and 11 daughters.  His
brothers, John and Jonathan, each reared larage families.  John had 19 and
Jonathan had 20.  My uncle John lived and died in Harlan County at the
mouth of Clover Lick Creek, on Poor Fork on Cumberland.  The Harlan County
Creeches are the descendants of my uncle John.  Mrs. Elijah Clay of
Breathitt is my sister.  She is two years my senior.  The Creeches are
Irish.  Rev. F. L. Creech, Middleburn, Kentucky, M. E. Church P. C.
