| Notes |
- Royal Ancestors of Some LDS Families by Michel L. Call, chart 7143.
Ancestry and Progentry of Captain James Blount - Immigrant, by Robert Fr e derick Pfafman, p E-34.
Elesa identified as the father of Cerdic and the son of Elsa. The nam e o f Elesa's mother is not recorded.
Elessa and Isaive are identified as the parents of Cerdic, with Elessa s p ecifically identified as his father. From this we know Isaive was his m ot her. Some sources seem to indicate that Cerdic was illegitimate, there for e we do not know with certainty if Isaive and Elessa were married.
Cerdic (Elesa's son) landed in what is today Hampshire in 495 with his s o n Cynric in five ships. It is not know with certainty from where Cerdi c c ame. It has been surmised that he was a native Britton, of that he ca me f rom Jutland and the Saxon coast.
Cerdic, first king of the West Saxons (519–534), is recorded as descend e d from Woden. This mythical descent is set out in the Anglo-Saxon Chro ni cle: "Woden/Bældæg/Brand/Frithugar/Freawine/Wig/Gewis/Esla/Elesa/Cerdi c" .
Elesa has been identified by some scholars with the Romano-British Elasi u s, the "chief of the region", met by Germanus of Auxerre.

Nicholl, D. (1958) Celts, Romans and Saxons, Studies: An Irish Quarter l y Review, Vol. 47, No. 187 (Autumn 1958), p. 300]
There is no evidence that Elesa was a king or ruler as some have identif i ed him, although it is a possibility.
