Elias Kane

Elias Kane, son of John Kane and Sybil Kent Kane. Married Deborah VanSchelluyne.

His first child was Elias Kent Kane (1794--1835) by Maria Leavenworth. Elias the younger was raised by Elias and Deborah his wife. Maria Leavenworth married Reuben Foster. I do not know if there ever was a marriage between Maria and Elias the elder.
