DREW Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oMB.2ACI/268.320.2.2 Message Board Post: Yes, Emily is a name used by this family line of Elkins who were in Grundy Co MO before 1840 ... came out of Laurel Co KY and returned to Laurel Co KY before 1850 and then went back to MO (Webster Co) before 1860, and finally settling in Maries Co MO. I would check all of these locations. The only 'Emily's I have, are a Mary Emma (Emily?) Elkins born abt 1859 in Maries Co MO to parents Jackson Elkins and Lucinda Henson. They also had another daughter actually named 'Emily' born about 1867 in Maries Co MO. Jackson Elkins had a brother named W.R.D. 'Dillard' Elkins who married Lucinda Henson's sister Sarah Henson. 'Dillard' and Sarah had a daughter 'Emily Lou Elkins' born January 08, 1857 in Laurel Co KY or Webster Co MO. I am showing Jackson and 'Dillard' Elkins's parents as James Elkins b abt 1782 and Leanor/Eleanor? Rogers, both of VA ... Jackson and Dillard may have had a sister named 'Emily' ??? Sorry, I don't have an quick and easy answer to your query. "R.E." ! Hinson, Jr. P.O. Box 33253 Los Gatos CA 95031 or EMAIL roaten@prodigy.net .... Good Luck to you!!!
