    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.

    Excerpts in The Jackson County Indiana History Book, page 340, underRichard Elkins, it states, "...About 1823, William's parents(Richard's parents as well), Drury ca. 1765 - ca. 1846 and Margaretca. 1766 - ca. 1836 and brother, Jesse married Nancy Adams movedhere."

    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.

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."

    100 acres, entered by Petty John; son-in-law Samuel Stogsdill is onthe same list in 1807 with 40 acres of his own
    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."

JoyceL. Clore Elkins records also indicate that the rest of the Elkinsfamily followed around 1823 shortly before James & Polly were married. It's possible that family members from Indiana (probably William &James) went back to Kentucky to get more settlers Or to visit withfamily members, and that's when James and Polly were married in 1827,because they and Wm.

    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]

    FROM: [28E] MRS. OLA MARIE WEST, 653 HWY DD, DEFIANCE, MO 63341
    ADAMS FAMILIES OF SOUTHERN KENTUCKY, DOROTHY GRIFFITH & ROBERT E.PARKIN, 1986, PG. 156; FAMILY # 2151, ZACHARIAH ADAMS (1760-1825)
    ZACHARIAH ADAMS, a soldier in the 10th infantry of the North CarolinaContinental Line during the Revolution, was born about 1760,apparently the eldest son of Moses and Ann (Handy) Adams. This familydoes not appear in Wilkes County until about 1786, when Moses Adamsbought 100 acres on Swan Creek (Wilkes Deeds Cl:197 from JohnTurnbull). This land as well as Briar and Hunting Creeks are in thesoutheastern part of Wilkes, south of Yadkin River, where the borderwith Surry County was unsettled. As a result, Zachariah does notappear on Wilkes tax lists while Moses paid poll taxes in 1787 on SwanCreek and in 1791 on Briar Creek. Although, neither is counted in the1787 Census, both are enumerated in 1790 (Wilkes Census 1790:123),Zachariah on Swan Creek with his wife, two sons and a daughter andMoses on Briar Creek with his wife, seven sons (one over sixteen yearsof age) and four daughters. A short time later, it appears, Zachariahand perhaps some of his brothers left for Kentucky.
    On February 2, 1795 (Wilkes Deed D:161), Moses Adams assigned his100-acre farm to his wife, Ann. However, this deed was not recordeduntil April 1797, indicating a date for Mose's death. Widow Ann Adamsis counted in the 1800 Census of Wilkes with only two sons remainingat home. One probably was John Adams who was married a couple ofyears later to Ann Hundley. They remained in Wilkes County.
    By 1795, Zachariah Adams and his family settle in Pulaski county,Kentucky. His wife died there in 1803, and on March 27, 1804 (PulaskiMR), he married Jane Clonch, widow of Christopher Clonch. They had nochildren. Zachariah Adams died in 1825, about sixty-five years old."
