Note N97329996.

One scandalous bit of history that was uncovered in Perry County Probate is an account of Elijah and Betsy Summers. It seems that she was having an affair with one Kelton Murray and was prosecuted by the US Government. Kelton Murray had been at odds with the Lamar's before, having raced Uriah Lamar in 1812 to the land office in Vincennes in pursuit of the same piece of property. Elijah Lamar divorced Betsy and married Polly Wright.
