No children

Elisha's age in the census records: in 1850, age 56; in 1860, age 66.
In 1860 Elisha owned real property valued at $1500.
Elisha's son Elisha is not named in the petition of Enoch Spruance (1845), but is named in Elisha's will (1864) and in the petition of Joel Durham (1864). The petition of Enoch Spruance (1845) specifies a daughter named Ann who is not mentioned in any other sources. To reconcile the lists of children, the compiler has assumed that the name Elisha was dropped from the 1845 list due to its similarity to the name Elijah, and the the name Hester Ann was split into two separate names in order to arrive at ten children.
Elisha was buried in Manship Cemetery, Cheswold, Delaware:
