However, it VERY clearly shows: Dwelling 96-100 BANKS, William, 68 . .Nancy, 75, wife . .Solomon, 34, son . .Jesse, 26, son ELKINS, Vina, 27, dau Dwelling 97-101 ELKINS, Jane, 52, "WIDOW" (shows daughter but could be a faded image) ELKINS, Sarah, 25, dau, VA; father b. KY; mother b. NC . . Floyd, son, 8 years, b. KY; parents b. KY . .Jesse, 4 mo's, grandson, b. KY; father b. VA; mother b. KY Next dwelling is a CAUDILL and the dwelling before the BANKS family is also a CAUDILL family. Perhaps this Mary Jane was a BANKS before she married Mr. ELKINS. Don't really know. In any case, this "Floyd", age 8 is very clearly written. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
