From Goodspeed's, History of Northwest Arkansas, page 1146 http://www.chrisanddavid.com/LongGenealogy/longfamil/pafn09.htm D. K. and Lydia E. (Adkins) Elkins, were natives of Virginia. The family moved to Vernon County, MO., before 1850, (actually after 13 July 1850) and D. K. died there in 1856. In connection with farming he was a mechanic and cabinetmaker, and worked at those trades. Eight of his eleven children are still living: Furibin, of Washington County; J. K., of California; Mrs. Nancy E. Kimes, of this county; Mrs. Phoebe Kimes, of this county; Mrs. Lucinda Reed, of Barry County, Mo.; Mrs. Louisa A. Kimes, of this county; Leander and L. W. Elkins, of Livingston, Ill. The grandparents, Jacob and Phoebe Adkins, were of English descent. The former was born in Jamestown Colony, Va., in 1758, and died in 1862, and the latter was born about 1768. They moved from Jamestown Colony to New River, and lastly to Wayne County, Va., where they engaged in farming. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
