The French Family Tree also indicates that Elias' father William-b1816 was the son of James-b1785 (b cad 1785) and Mary (b ca 1795) Hefford, both born in Newfoundland, and that James-b1785 was the son of a James-b1729 Hefford born in Newfoundland ca 1729.  James-b1729 (or perhaps James-b1785, if his birth year was actually earlier than indicated) may have been the husband in the "James and Mary" couple mentioned in the Newfoundland Ancestor article<ref name=Foot03/> (above).
