This Library of Congress website has a transcribed document." (see link on right >>>) that an Ebenezer Elmore signed in NJ  in Gloucester County, December 15, 1800

I don't believe he could be the same Ebenezer Elmore mentioned in the "History of . . ." the article copied to the right, because the above  Ebenezer Elmore was still in NJ in the 1840 census. Scroll to bottom of page to see other info on Ebenezer Elmore. In some of the census an Ebenezer Elmer is listed which seems to be a misspelling of this person. I wish we had a source for Goodspeed's information! There was also a Samuel Elmore living in NJ who was a Col. in George Washington's Army.  The Library of Congress has copies online of some of this correspondence.  (see below) I have included only one of these from the Library of Congress pictures. To see the rest go to the above link and do a search.

History of Laclede, Camden, Dallas, Wester, Wright, Texas, Pulaski, Phelps and Dent Counties, Missouri Goodspeed Publishing Co. 1889, page 889, Camden Co. Biographical Appendix      R.H.C. Appleton, a dealer in general merchandise, and a farmer of Adair Township, Camden County, was born in that county January 22, 1854, and is a son of John and Levina (Elmore) Appleton, both natives of Tennessee.        John Appleton, who was a blacksmith and farmer, was born in 1823; he moved from Tennessee to Jefferson City, Mo., and afterward located at Linn Creek, Mo.   He was twice married, and was the father of sixteen children, eleven of whom are still living.  The paternal grandfather of our subject was John Appleton, a native of South Carolina, who afterward went to Tennessee, and was a farmer, millwright, and carpenter; he served in the War of 1812, participating in the battle of New Orleans, and his wife was Polly (Pepper) Appleton, of Virginia.    John Appleton, Sr., died in 1843.    Mrs. Levina Appleton died in 1863.    She was a daughter of Ebenezer Elmore, of Tennessee.       R.H.C. Appleton has devoted the greater part of his attention to the pursuit of farming, but in 1879, as a member of the firm of A. J. Campbell & Co., he engaged in the mercantile business at Osage Iron Works Post-office, which he continued until 1881; in the latter year he purchased and moved to a farm of 150 acres in Adair Township, which he still owns, and has about 100 acres under cultivation.   He also owns other landed property, in all amounting to about 622 acres.    In March, 1887, he purchased a new stock of general merchandise, and in partnership with Henry Dougherty opened a store at Osage Iron Works, which they still conduct with success.   In 1881 Mr. Appleton married Miss Rosa E. Carroll, who was born in Camden County, Mo., in December, 1855, and is a daughter of George and Cordelia A. Carroll, natives of Kentucky. Of the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Appleton only one survives, Myrtle Eve.   In politics Mr. Appleton is a Democrat.

I found these  Ebenezer Elmore's ( a  Lieut,  a Surgeon, a Ensign) in the Revolutionary War, but their Roll Description says NJ.   Because of Roll Box number, I think this may only be two individuals..... Any ideas???  Revolutionary War Service Records, 1775-83 ELMORE, EBENEZER   Rank - Induction: 2 LIEUT   Roll Box: 63   Roll Description: NJ ELMORE, EBENEZER   Rank - Induction: SURGEON   Roll Box: 57   Roll Description: NJ ELMORE, EBENR   Rank - Induction: SURGEON   Roll Box: 57   Roll Description: NJ ELMORE, EBENZN   Rank - Induction: 1 LIEUTENANT   Roll Box: 63   Roll Description: NJ ELMORE, EBEZN   Rank - Induction: ENSIGN   Roll Box: 63   Roll Description: NJ
