In the 1850 & 1860 Federal U.S. Census Jesse Elkins gives his birthplace as Virginia and Tennessee respectfully. Perhaps he was unsureof where he was born, but it would also indicate that he may not havebeen born in Kentucky. This does mean that more research on his birthplace is required, and that Pulaski County, Kentucky cannot be givenas his true place of birth as yet. the only thing we can be certainof is where he died.

I am still in the process of working on this family, and from what Ihave listed the birth dates are census record details. Zachariahthen is listed in the census records living near the families inIndiana. Obviously, since they were the first settlers in that areaof Indiana, it wouldn't be much of a leap to put them all together. Iagreed with her findings so far since, I believe, it's quite feasiblethat Jesse & Nancy would have a son named Zachariah since that wasNancy's father's name also. Mother must have thought so as well.
Mother (Joyce Lorraine Clore Elkins) left me lots of records and onthe first Family Group Sheet that she did, Zachariah was included witha question mark, along with his birth date and marriage to ElizabethTadlock. I went ahead and added him to the family until I've had thetime to do the research on all of them on the computer and at ourlocal genealogy library. Mother already has some census records doneon the family, but of course a great deal more needs to be done yet.
Three of Mother's big sources were the Elkins Eagle (which I haveevery copy of), Carol Stultz through personal correspondence, and theCensus records, plus land records, and more... without the aid of thecomputer, and she researched for 30 + years on the Elkins family.Etc...."

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.
Note: Carolyn & Joyce were introduced through my cousin Claudia.Carolyn frequented my cousin Claudia's beauty shop in Danville,Indiana. [12 January 2008, SLJuhl, compiler--Sandra Lee ElkinsJuhl--Joyce's daughter]

Drury married Margaret between 1778 and 1779 in Montgomery County, Virginia. was born in 1766 in Possibly Virginia; died in 1836 in Jackson Co., Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This compiler is in the process of researching this family and tryingto claim new information on them also that may give more insight intothe family dynamics.

NOTE NOTE: Richard Elkin(s) & Jesse Elkin(s) & Drury Elkin(s) &James Elkin(s) Jr./Sr., also had land on Clinch River around the samedates-c.1785; AND since James Elkin(s) Sr. is the father of JamesElkin(s) Jr./Sr., then it stands to reason that James Elkin(s) Sr./Sr.was also the father of Drury, and Richard Elkin(s), plus probably ??Samuel Elkin(s). Drury had an older son, Jesse, so this may be him.

The first part that can be fairly well confirmed about the ElkinsFamily from Virginia to Kentucky to Indiana begins here and ends withWilliam Elkins notes. Please refer to Drury Elkins notes for thesecond part of the Time Line information gathered. These are NOTcomplete listings, but they do give the researcher a time frameoutline for help and comparisons. Transcription errors do occur,please do not hesitate to nicely notify the compiler, SLJuhl atsljuhl1234@yahoo.com if you should come across an error. Not all ofthe sources are in the end notes since there are a multitude of them;Many sources are placed in the ancestor/descendant's notes where theinformation helps to enlighten the topic/s being addressed.

[Transcribed 17 September 2008,SLJuhl, Compiler & Family Genealogist; sljuhl1234@yahoo.com]
COMMENTS BY THIS COMPILER: (1) I have seen the surname of bothSamuel & Margaret also spelled differently on information taken fromthe original marriage document, being Stagdol & Elken respectively.Plus, Drury's name was listed as, Drewrea Elken also from theinformation taken from the original marriage document. I do believethe family surname was originally "Elkin" not Elkins. I believe alsothat the common usage of Samuel's surname now is closer to Stogdill.(2) Presently, it can be said that Zachariah is the son of Robert.Robert migrated from Orange County, Virginia in 1780 arriving in ClarkCounty, Kentucky prior to the first census in 1792. That Drury andJames are probably brothers there is stronger evidence for than arelationship with Robert. Jesse is the son of Drury. Drury, Jesse,and James Jr. all lived on the Clinch River in Russell County,Virginia very near each other and all three migrated to Clark County,Kentucky prior to 1792 also, and showed up in the area of Clark Countyat the same time. It can be diffently said that the three men, Drury,Jesse, and James Jr. are strongly related. It is also known thatJames Jr.'s father was James Sr., a Colonial Soldier. So, I dobelieve it can be safely assumed that James Sr. was probably also thefather of Drury or uncle. The Richard Elkin in Russell County,Virginia who lived on Clinch River also and who stayed behind whenDrury & James went to Kentucky, is probably also a brother to JamesJr. & Drury, but there is no proof of that at the present time otherthan he is of the same time frame period. (3) I can only propose atthis point in time on the very thinnest of information that perhapsRobert Elkin was a distant cousin to James Jr. & Drury Elkin. (4) Asfar as, the Samuel in the 1792 census with all of them, I haven'tgotten to him as yet in researching. I know nearly nothing about himas yet. (5) Certainly more research is needed to ferret out theserelationships. Presently, I am endeavoring to do so. [SLJuhl,Compiler]

Please Be Aware of The Family Dynamics: That Drury, James Jr/Sr.,Robert (son-Zachariah), and Samuel are all listed in Clark County,Kentucky together in 1792 in the tax listing, and all havecontemporary ages indicating that they were probably related. It isbelieved that Robert Elkin(s), Baptist Minister, was a first cousin,and since Drury's daughter Martha married in Clarke Countyspecifically, then it may be assumed that she was married by RobertElkins who lived there at the time. If James Jr/Sr.'s father is JamesElkin, (Sr/Sr.) b. 1720, then probably James Elkin Sr/Sr. is also thefather of Drury (b.1760-1765), James (b. 1755), and Samuel Elkin(s)(b.abt. 1760). Also, family ties still existed even after some ofthem moved to other counties in Kentucky which is verified by themarriage of Drury's daughter Martha in Clark County.
