Bill, I found a Robert Elks born 1848 Black Creek Township in Wilson Co NC in 1900 census. He's a barber too. Wife's name I can't read. Daughter Pearl, sons Band/Burd, Robert, Sidney. Could this be the one or no? ----Original Message Follows---- From: Bill Kittrell <wbk99@earthlink.net> Reply-To: NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com To: NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NC-PCFR] ELKS Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2002 08:59:09 -0400 I don't have any information on Robert Edward Elks. But there are some of the Elks family that I have questions about. Since they are in the Ballards Crossraods area near Farmville may be a connection. Titus Elks b. 1823 d. 7-3-1915. According to death ceertificate his middle name is Sue. Buried in cemetery on Pollard Farm Road north of Ballards. Note: Can't find my notes but thought on Titus' death certificate either the father or informat's name was Alexander Elks. John Elks b. 1-6-1831 d. 7-5-1900 m. Sleteta Ann ____ b. 10-1-1840 d. 11-__-1901. William Henry Elks b. 5-25-1848 d. 5-6-1928, his father was James Elks. William Henry's wife was Nacny Bruer (Brewer). Note: These two are in the same age range as Robert E. Elks. Buried in Elks-Bowen site at Ballards. In another cemetery on Allen Road is William Elks b. ca 1804 d. 1889 Age 85. I know this doesn't answer the question on Robert but might be of help to others. If anyone knows of info on the ones listed above please let me know about it. ==== NC-PCFR Mailing List ==== Post to this mail list at: NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com Visit the PCFR website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncpcfr Browse our rich collection of old family photographs, private documents, and public records. ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 Paula Anne Baker paulabaker69@hotmail.com Researching BAKER, MANNING, TYSON, STOCKS AND OTHERS in Pitt County NC and Greene County NC and COLE, NORMAN, WHITE, SUTTON AND OTHERS in SC, GA, and LA _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
