I've been doing a lot of research and this feminine name keeps turning up. Ellender/Elender/Elander... It's mostly from colonial Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. There is a lot of Scots/Irish heritage in the area and I'm curious if you think it's related to Eluned, or more closely related to Eleanor.
