Alice Mills Elks had articles ##543, 545, 546, 547 and 548 of Chronicles of Pitt. In #548 she states Samuel Elks if from Pincess Anne County, VA and recieved money in 1764 from estate of Obediah Moore for orphans. In #545 she mentions Jacob Elks b. ca 1730 possible brother of Samuel. She has done as much work as anyone on this family. She does not own a computer.

Does anyone know when the Elks first moved to the area and who the first one was? Were they out of Princess Ann Co, Va? John Elks of PA had a will in 1774 and mentioned a son John and among others two Deal grandchildren - Adam and Elizabeth. One Adam Dail then appears in Pitt Co for a brief time and then may have moved to Duplin. Thanks Martha

Tuesday night, November 19, 2002 at 7:00 pm Pitt County Family Researchers met at Sheppard Memorial Library. We had 31 people there, including two visitors, Vernestine Paige and Allison Phipps. Laura Davis, Director of the Family History Center LDS Library in Greenville was our guest speaker. She went over all the research resources that are available to us at the Family History Center, and reviewed the LDS web site with us with tips for searching the site. New member Bob Newton indicated he was researching Whitehursts, Newtons, and others. Alex Mewbern, another new member , is researching Moores, Tripps, Smiths, and others. Vernistine Paige, visitor, is searching Clemmons, Ebrons, and others. Allison Phipps, visitor, is researching Phipps, Murdock, and others as a school project. Liz Sparrow is researching Harris, Dixon, Taylor, Smith, and many others. Bill Kittrell announced that the board had decided to split the duties of the Secretary. The organization has grown so much in the last few years that the responsibilities of the secretary were too much for one person. Roger Kammerer, editor of the Quarterly, will deliver it to Accucopy when it is ready to be printed. Accucopy will print and mail the Quarterlies. Laymond Elks, Treasurer, will pay the bill at Accucopy and pick up the master copy for the printing. Laymond will also store the back issues of the Quarterly at his home and be responsible for mailing out the new member packages that require back issues, or any that are ordered. Brenda Stocks will record the minutes of the meetings and post them to the mail list. Roger Kammerer, who is a member of the Pitt Co. Historical Society's committee on the reprinting of the Chronicles of Pitt County announced that the book will be reprinted from the original master without changes in the Spring of 2003, hopefully. Cost will be about $60 plus shipping and handling. Profits from this sale will be used to print a smaller supplement to the Chronicles of Pitt County at a later date. The meeting was closed and the people present exchanged information, went to the History Room to do research, or just visited with others. The next meeting will be Dec. 17 at Sheppard Memorial Library at 7:00 pm. Brenda

Jean an all, I would surmise that William is a son of Nancy's previous to her marriage to James. If William is 23 in 1880, that would place his DOB 1857, before the marriage of James and Nancy in 1862. I think the term "Father in Law" is referring to a relationship we would call "Step-Father".

I am trying to sort out some of the W(e)itheringtons in the 1880 census. District 79, Pollocksville, Jones Co, NC In the home of James Ringold there is listed a Wm Wetherington, SSon, 23 (helping his Father In Law) and a Jane who most likely is his spouse shown as DauL A GDau 9M is also listed. It seems as though Wm should be the Son in law. I have a marriage for James Ringold and Nancy Worthington/Witherington for 31 August 1862. Was James married before 1862 or was Nancy married before??

I got mine and it was fantastic, as usual. Course, I now have two different mothers for one of my ancestors, depending on which petition in the General Assembly records one believes. When the mailman delivers my quarterly, everything stops until I read it. Many thanks to Betsy and Roger for all their hard work.
