General

Apparently lawyer Cabaniss attended to the affairs of Elijah Boardman. Elijah and his brother entered into Huntsville activities at least at the time of statehood, 1819, when John was the printer for the new state constitution. Elijah established an imported stock farm and race horse stables. Both were active but unfortunately both fell into disgrace and headed, as many others had, to Mississippi. Included in this file is the Certificate of Stock in the Huntsville Theatre, #1, 1825, racing and boarding accounts with his sometimes partners. The racing events were quite extent traveling to Nashville and New York among other venues. For further information see Nancy M. Rohr "Off to the Races," Huntsville Historical Review, W-S 2010, pp. 35-57.
