Not sure that it helps, but I have seen the surname ERSKINE misspelled to be Askin/Askins in records from Monroe and Greenbrier Counties (derived from Augusta). I am an Erskine descendant, but the names you mentioned aren't familiar. GOOD LUCK! ~Tracy -- Looking for nourishing and moisturizing handmade soaps?
