And fromthe extent of schism between our small settlements make it exceedinglydifficult to arrange companies without subjecting some to travel 15and 20 miles to private mustery. There are two difficulties in themilitia law that principally affect your Petitioners. There are evilssmall indeed to the feelings we constantly undergo when obliged toleave our helpless families exposed at so very greast distances toobey the laws of our country. And however evident the danger mayappear to us will not certainly on our failure of duty plead ourexcuse. Circumstance alone is sufficient to claim the human respect ofthe Legislature to remove the grievance. We therefore pray yourHonorable House will take our case into consideration and divide thecounty. We further pray a line may be fixed along Clinch Mountain tothe Carolina line; or with the line at present dividing the countyinto two regiments to the aforesaid Carolina line; then with the saidline to Cumberland Mountain including taht existing county betweenCumberland Mountain and Montgomery line and Clinch Mountain, or theaforesaid regimental line for the new county and southeast of the saidClinch Mountain remain Washington County; and we your Petitioners asin duty bound will ever pray.

This isnew information, because none of the researchers from the records Ihave ever followed this lead in Virginia for Russell County. Ibelieve that the Drury Elkins from Montgomery County, VA may be oneand the same with our Drury. It's been noticed in going over theinformation in the Elkins Eagle that the family members seemed to havepurchased land in the surrounding counties a good deal. And with theboundary changes so frequent during this time period that is difficultto ascertain the truth of where each member was actually located forany given period of time. Although, many of the researchers admittedthat they did not know for sure which one of the two Drury's (if therewas two) was actually the correct Elkins Family. In the 1800 census,Drury Elkins is in Pulaski County, Kentucky and is where he staysuntil he moves to Indiana in 1823.

    TIP #660 ? PETITIONS OF THE EARLY INHABITANTS OF KENTUCKY, PART 1
    In the summer of 1910 a wonderful find was made. James Rood Robertsonfrom Berea College was visiting in Richmond, VA. And, there, hidden inthe archives were found 110 petitions from the early inhabitants ofKentucky to Virginia. These were not of course all the petitions butare believed to be fairly complete. A vast amount of these opens upthe door to the names of Kentucky?s earliest residents. Many of theold petitions were torn, dirty, faded and the handwriting not theeasiest to read. But to actually read what our pioneers wereaddressing before statehood is priceless. The oldest petition foundwas dated in 1769 and the last in 1831 ? years after Kentucky reachedstatehood. During this early date, Kentucky was merely a VirginiaCounty which had been passed between various counties there over theyears.
    In this tip I will list the petitions by name and number which willgive the subject of the petition. Upon completion of this next week,in following weeks, the names of the signers to each of thesepetitions will be shown. Keep this list of petition numbers as I beginto list the names of the signers; there will be numbers followingtheir name. This is the name of the petition or petitions on whichtheir name is signed along with the date signed.
    1 - Request by those living east of the Alleghany Mountains for 60,000aces of land in the upper valley of the Cumberland River. (December1769)
    2- Request by the inhabitants of Kentucky at Harrodsburg to be takenunder jurisdiction of Virginia. (June 7-15th, 1776)
    3 ? Request of the Committee at Harrodsburg to be taken under thejurisdiction of Virginia.(20 June 1776)
    Petition #3. The division requested in this petition was made and WestFincastle was created. Fincastle?s division into three counties andparishes of Botetourt into four districts was made. The division wasto take effect 31 Dec 1776. Boundaries were: All that part thereofwhich lies to the south and westward of a line beginning on the Ohioat the mouth of the Great Sandy Creek, running up the same and themain or northeasterly branch to the Great Laurel Ridge (CumberlandMountain), then southwest along the mountain to the North Carolinaline ? this was to be known as Kentucky County. They could appoint aclerk, select a meeting place at Harrodsburg. Those eligible to holdoffice was ?every white man possessing twenty-five acres of land withhouse and plantation thereon?. And having right to an estate for lifeat least in said land in his own right or in the right of his wife."

    Same land as Moleston Pettyjohn's (Grant B, 1799-1825 Line Creek LandGrants).
    Drury lived on Line Creek from at least 1806 until 1822, when he leftfor Indiana. On today's maps, the branch of Line Creek where he livedis called the Elkhorn Branch, but I believe that is not the originalname. In 1822 when John McKinney had land surveyed in RockcastleCounty, the description said it was on the "Elkins Branch" of LineCreek. I thought this was a mistake until I realized who had lived onthe other end of the creek--Drury Elkins. The name must have beencorrupted over the years from Elkins to Elkhorn."

    Carolyn (Carol) Joan Elkins Stultz, of Danville, Indiana and JoyceLorraine Clore Elkins, both had worked for many, many years on theElkins Family genealogy. Carol Stultz collaborated over those yearswith Joyce Lorraine Clore Elkins of Montezuma, Indiana who also hadworked on the Elkins Family genealogy for many, many years(c.1975-2003 A.D.). Both Carolyn and Joyce have multiple writtencorrespondence found all through Joyce's records on the ancestralElkins family (before computers) which this compiler is sharing withother researchers. Both ladies have contributed, along with otherresearchers, and have been published by the quarterly newsletter ofthe Elkins Eagle on the different branches of the families before thenewsletter became retired. I have endeavored to put forth the mostaccurate compilation of both ladies information from Joyce's records,plus adding updates from computer sources in the process of the databasing. Of course, this is a work in progress, and if you should finderrors or have questions please feel free to contact this compiler atsljuhl1234@yahoo.com or at Sandra Juhl 3810 - 10th Avenue Place,Moline, Illinois 61265.
    The Elkins Eagle Quarterly Newsletter is retired at the present time.When this compiler was doing research in Virginia, the newsletter wasused in Lee & Washington County libraries as the only source for theElkins of those counties and state (other than reference to theVirginia State Library); There were only a few pages available of theElkins Eagle Newsletter at the library in Lee County, Virginia. WhenJoyce passed away, I did inherit her collection of the Elkins EagleQuarterly Newsletter which was much more plentiful, and from what Icould ascertain, possibly the most number of editions by any onecollector in Virginia or Indiana, perhaps other than if Carol had acollection as well. If not, then Joyce's collection is probably themost available today in Indiana or Illinois through this compiler.
