Research online about Elisha Sibley<\/a> uncovered some additional information. Searches revealed several men with this name, however only one fits the time and general location. It would seem this Elisha Sibley <\/em>may have been born around 1780, possibly in Union, CT and passing away in\u00a030 August 1831 in Rush, Monroe Co., NY \u2013 Though other records have his birth in 1730, which is unlikely considering they also give an 1831 death, making him 101 at the time of his passing.<\/p>\n

According the North Rush Cemetery Records of Rush, NY, Elisha Sibley was also a sergeant in Captain Rowley\u2019s Company of the New York State Militia in the War of 1812.
