Do you know of Elms ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Elms. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Elms.<1>

Our sources for Elms (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Elms other than they indicate that Elms would be found somewhere in Sussex County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1895 and closed  in 1906.
