Within the Shropshire Archives catalogue there is a single reference to (a) Daniel Defoe, which is annotated as follows: "Letter giving notes on Samuel Elisha, known to Daniel Defoe, extr Phillips - Shropshire Men, Vol 5, p 93; also extr 'Bye-Gones', 26th June 1907."
Maybe nothing to do with your enquiry but the 'Elisha' mention is irresistible.
