THE ELKINS FAMILY GENEALOGY 
Submitted by Keith Allen Joseph James Elkins Cincinnati, Ohio 
The First Generations in America Members of the Elkins Family were among the first pioneers who were active in building a new nation in a new world. Members of this Family were found in all three great enterprises in Colonial America--The settling of New Netherlands (New York), the establish- ment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony at Plymouth and the founding of the Jamestown Settlement in Virginia. Among the Elkinses who settled in the south was John, who appears to have settled in Maryland, while Ralph Elkins is considered the founder of the Virginia Family. It is probable that the southern settlers were near relatives of those who established their homes in New England and New York. Recent research of Maryland Records has produced no records for John Elkin other than the fact that he came as a Passenger on the " Ark or Dove" 1633 sponsored by a Mr. Copley. The charter of the London Company, under which England's first permanent colony in America was established, bore the date 10 April, 1606, and the memorable document defined the territorial dimensions of Virginia. In the second charter, issued three years later, 23 May, 1609, to "the Treasurer and Company of Adventurers and Planters of the City of London for the First Colony in Virginia," the limit of jurisdiction from sea to sea, and from two hundred miles north to two hundred miles south of Old Point Comfort. The corporators are named in the charter, and the list comprised fifty-six city companies of London and six hundred and fifty-nine persons. Of these incorporators was John Elkin, a London merchant, who subscribed seventy-five pounds, or about twice the usual subscription. The persons in this charter were of diverse qualities, from the man of limited means to the peer of the realm. At least one hundred of them served in the House of Commons at some time, and about fifty were then members of the first parliament of James I.; twenty-one were peers, ninety-six knights, eleven doctors, ministers, etc.; fifty-three captains, twenty-eight esquires, fifty-eight gentlemen, one hundred and ten merchants, and two hundred and eighty-two citizens and others not classified. 
JOHN ELKIN (Birth Est. 1588-1617; Death Est. 1642-1702) 
The Jamestown Colony Records, 1634, identify John Elkin as a "merchant". ("Statutes at Large, Vol. Page 83") It is thought that John Elkin he was probably near of kin to William Elkin, the alderman of London, whose step-son Henry Robinson, Esq., was also one of the famous "Adventurers," and possibly to the Ralph Elkins who emigrated with the last of the Cavaliers to the Old Dominion shortly after the emigration of John and Lawrence Washington. 1607 JOHN ELKINS, to Virginia Colony.

In that year the first settlements were planted on the south side of the York River at Chiskiak and York, and about the same time Claiborne made a settlement on Kent Island, at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. The quarrel with Lord Baltimore caused many of the English settlers at Kent Island to plant on the neck between the Rappahanock and Potomac at Chickacoan, and from this was erected, in 1648 Northumberland Co. In 1651 Gloucestor Co., was formed out of the territory between the York and the Piantetank Rivers, and the same year witnessed the erection of the counties of York and Lancaster. In 1653 the western part of Northumberland County was made into Westmoreland county.

Upon careful examination, the name is John Elkin on each folio quoted, and the engrosser's error which appeared in the executive list, i.e., "John Elbin,: is evidently responsible for the mistake giving two names for one man. 1634 John Elkins (no age) Arrival Maryland An additional entry is 1634, Jamestown, VA., "John Elkin, Merchant". Couldn't he have crossed the Potomac into Jamestown? Also, there is only a "transported" record for Ralph in 1657. Could that have been within the colonies for land acquisition purposes? Ralph has a son, John. Could Ralph have been a son of John of Maryland? If true, the mystery of the ship that brought at least one family to America is solved. They would have come with Lord Baltimore from near London on the "Ark or the Dove". 1716 Oct; John Elkin; on the Goodspeed; "Second shipload of Scottish Rebels sent to Maryland". This needs additional research. 
The First Generation in America RALPH ELKINS 
Ralph Elkins1 Our Immigrant Ancestor Ralph Elkins Sr. was born abt. 1636 and died in St. Paul's Parish, Stafford County, Virginia in 1690. He first came to Stafford County, VA. in 1657. Returning to England, he came back to Virginia Jan. 13, 1661, settling on 30 acres of land in Yorke Co., VA. Ralph married Miss Mary Ashton in 1681. She was born at Lincolnshire, England in 1634 and is believed to be descended from the "Ashtons of Chadderton." She died 1690 at Stafford County, Virginia. Ralph Elkins died in Stafford County, Virginia Sept. 6, 1690. The children of Ralph and Mary Ashton Elkins were: •ELIZABETH ELKINS2 born: abt. 1665 in York Co., VA •RICHARD ELKINS2 born: 1669 Richmond, King George Co., VA; died: 1732-1738 •RALPH ELKINS JR.2 born: abt. 1680 in Stafford Co., VA •NATHANIEL ELKINS2 born: 1683 in York Co., VA Ralph Elkins received from Governor Frances Moryson (Morrison) a patent of land in York county, 13 Jan. 1661; but located shortly afterwards between the Potomac and the Rappahannock, in what was then Westmoreland, but later King George Co. Here he followed the usual occupation of the gentlemen of the day, and became a planter of tobacco, that staple which was the ally of the church and the currency of the colony, and his early shipments thereof bear testimony to his prosperity. He lived the life of the "Tide-Water Virginians," his neighbors were the early Barons of the Potomack and the Rappahannock," his religion, political creed, and amusements were as theirs. In 1689, Ralph Elkins Sr. is old and sick and relieved from paying to court and from bond of security for estate of John Hobart (Order Book, need page #)-- this taken from EE Vol. III No 3 page 85, Sept 1988. 1690 Sept. 6th - Stafford County, VA. Ralph Elkins will probated Sept. 6, 1690. (EE Vol. III No. 3 page 85, Sept. 1988 - In Casey's book, he states that Ralph Elkins died intestate, however from Jack Elkins (See Vol. I, No 2 p54), he states will dated March 1690, probated Sept. 1690, son Richard was administrator. "1690 will of Ralph Elkins, probated Sep 6th, Richard administers his estate. He gives his sons Richard and Nathaniel land with houses, horses, barns, etc." Generation Two RICHARD ELKINS2 (Ralph1) Richard Elkins2 was born at Richmond, King George County, Virginia in 1669 and died between 1726* and 1738 at Over-Wharton Parish in Stafford, King George County, Virginia. Richard's first wife was Mary Williams1. She was born abt. 1670 or 1673 at St. Mary's Parish in Richmond, Virginia, and died there abt. 1695-1697. Richard and Mary were married in 1690 at St. Mary's Parish in Richmond, Virginia. Richard and Mary Williams1 Elkins had one son: •JAMES ELKINS3 born: 1694/5 at St. Mary's Parish in Richmond, VA; died: May 1, 1717 in Richmond, VA Note: 1694/5 James Elkins, son of Richard Elkins and his wife, Mary (Williams)Elkins, Richmond Co., VA. Will Book 2 p. 47 by deed of gift, 12 Jan. 1694/95, is willed by Mrs. Xpian Williams of St. Mary's Parish in Richmond Co., 5 cows, a good feather bed and furniture and tow brass kittles, one to hold about 13 gallons, 2 iron pots, 1 bell mettle spice mortar and pestle, 5 pewter, dishes, 2 horses and 2000 pounds of tobacco in cask" to be paid for the aforesaid grandchild, (James Elkins) schooling when he comes to age of 23yrs. Mrs. Williams names James Elkins as her grandson and states he is the son of Richard Elkins and Mary. Mrs. Williams signed the Deed of Gift with her mark. Richard's second wife was Elizabeth Bryant2, daughter of Richard and Ann Bryant. She was born 1669 in Stafford, Virginia and died abt. 1757. Richard and Elizabeth Bryant2 Elkins were married January 12, 1697 in Stafford, Virginia. Note: 1703 4th of May - RICHARD BRYAN, Stafford Co. Will: Wife, ANN, executrix. Leaves to dau.

The children of Richard2 and Elizabeth Bryant Elkins were: •RICHARD ELKINS JR. (II)3 born: 1698 in Stafford, VA; died: May 1, 1751 Pittsylvania, VA; married to Mary Gallop March 7, 1722 at Stafford, VA •ELIZABETH ELKINS3 born: abt. 1703 Stafford, VA; died: August 28, 1752 •JOHN ELKINS born: 1703 Stafford, VA; died June 5, 1730; married to Elizabeth Bolt? •NATHANIEL ELKINS3 born: 1707 Stafford, VA; died: 1733; married to Rebecca Summerton •PRISCILLA ELKINS3 born 1715 at St. Paul's Church, Stafford, VA; married to Benjamin Sebastian February 16, 1730 King George Co., VA •MARGARET ELKINS3 born: 1711 Over-Wharton parish, Stafford VA; married to Jarrett Stevens June 21, 1727 King George Co., VA •JEAN ELKINS3 born 1713; married to Bartholemew Redman June 24, 1727 King George Co., VA •WILLIAM ELKINS3 born: 1718; married Martha *1726 It is stated that Richard Elkin married Elizabeth Bryant /Bryan of Virginia and had sons Richard Jr. and William. Richard Elkin died in 1726 leaving property to Richard Jr. (Statement made by Olive Elkin Story in reference to the children of Ralph Elkin. No idea where the date of death was assumed here.

Cavaliers & Pioneers, Nugent. Volume III, Page 95. (Elkins Eagle see 1703). 
Generation Three RICHARD ELKINS II3 (Richard2; Ralph1) 
Richard Elkins II3 was born at Stafford, Virginia in 1698 and died May 1, 1751 in Stafford, at Pittsylvania, King George County, VA. Richard3 married Mary Gallop March 7, 1722 in Stafford, VA. Mary Gallop was born 1698, daughter of Robert Gallop and Eleanor Bryant.
 The children of Richard3 and Mary Gallop Elkins were: •RICHARD ELKINS III4 born: 1726-1744 at Pittsylvania in Stafford, VA; died: 1781(?), VA; married to Mary Elizabeth Buchanan-- born after 1730 •JOHN ELKINS4 born abt. 1728 •WILLIAM GALLOP ELKINS4 born: 1733 •ZACHARIAH ELKINS4 born: 1737 at Stafford, VA •BENJAMIN ELKINS4 born: 1739 at Stafford, VA •JEREMIAH ELKINS4 born: 1741 at Stafford, VA •EMMANUEL ELKINS4 born: 1743 at Stafford, VA •WARE ELKINS4 born: 1747 at Stafford, VA •ELIZABETH ELKINS4 born: 1749 at Stafford, VA •? ARCHIBALD ELKINS4 born: 1756 at Halifax, Henry Co., VA; died: Aug. 18, 1791 in Montgomery, VA; married 1758 to Margaret Bishop, d/o John Bishop and Margaretha Overmeyer (? Possibly son of Richard III4? ) 1751 King George County, VA - Richard Elkins died (Inventory Rec) Torrence, page 138. (GC-wife MARY (?)) EE Vol. IV No 3 Page 87 -states, "Was this Richard's inventory? or was he an appraiser?) 1751 Nov 9th - Pittsylvania County, VA - RICHARD ELKINS, 400 acres adjacent to RICHARD ELKINS JR at Davis' upper line of entry on the East Fork of Leatherwood thence up. (EE Vol IV No 3 Page 87) (Barbara Thompson Notes: "Now we have two Richards? Actually I see four in 1851. One in King George County and three in Pittsylvania County": cbh (EE Vol IV No 3 Page 87), Then in the EE Vol IV No 4, page 99, Ruby Ewart writes and states just three Elkins here! She interprets the Richard of King George Co and the Richard involved with Adam Banks that goes bond for Mary are one and the same. (C Stultz, I believe she is right). Therefore we feel there are just three Richards in 1751 Virginia, as follows:) 1751 King George County, VA #1 Richard Elkin of the Inventory Pittsylvania County, VA Same as #1 Richard Elkins that Adam Banks goes on bond for Mary Elkins. #2 Richard Elkins whose 400 ac adj to Richard Jr #3 Richard Elkins Jr. Pittsylvania County (according to Everton's Handy Book for Genealogists, Seventh Edition) was not formed until 1766/7, from Halifax County. Is this an error in the Handy Book? Halifax Co was formed in 1752 from Lunenburg County and Lunenburg in 1746 from Brunswick. cbh) EE Vol IV No 3 Page 87. Originally Pittsylvania was a name suggested for an unrealized 14th colony of the United States--although Pittsylvania County would not have been within the proposed state. The county was formed in 1767 from Halifax County. It was named for William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1766 to 1768 and opposed harsh colonial policies. In 1777, the western part of Pittsylvania County became Henry County. *The County Census Maps below indicate the geo-political changes occurring from the first United States Federal Census in 1790 to the Federal Census indicating the State of West Virginia after the Civil War. 
Generation Four RICHARD ELKINS III4 (Richard II3; Richard2; Ralph1) 
RICHARD ELKINS III4 was born between 1719-1726 at Pittsylvania in Stafford, Virginia and died 1781, although one source puts his death at 1801 in Tazewell County, Virginia. In the *will of Ralph1 (of all), he left a certain tract of land to two of his sons, namely: Richard2 Elkins and his brother Nathaniel2 Elkins. Assuming we come from the line of Richard the son of Old Ralph, then this Richard Elkins is said to have married a Miss Elizabeth Bryant of Virginia. Some other records may indicate her name may also have been Mary (unless two separate women are being confused as one) which would have made her Mary Eliz. or Elizabeth Mary Bryant. Richard Elkins2, (son of old Ralph) died in 1726, leaving land to his son Richard Elkins3, Jr. & and another son, William3. This Richard Jr.3 may be the one we have called Richard Sr.4 born about 1726-1744 by Mrs. Thompson's estimation. Perhaps she should have placed the earliest possible date of his birth in the period from 1719-1726. If this is correct, he would be the father of (1) Richard Elkins5 b. 1768-1770 who married Nancy (Leslie) McGuire, a widow (2) Zachariah/Zacheus b. 1764-1766 who m. Rachel Ann Smith (3) William Elkins, b. abt. 1772 who m. Ann Smith" (from a paraphrase posted by J.R. Hall regarding The Elkins Families by Barbara Martin Thompson of Santa Rosa California—Hall's e-mail reply to: Elkins, Zacheus Sr. and Jr. of WV by Megan dated November 14, 1999 at 09:58:10). This would bring the line from (1) Old Ralph1, (2) Richard2, died 1727, (3) Richard Jr.3 (II) born: 1698, (4) Richard III4 who married Mary Elizabeth Buchanan—born after 1730. The children of Richard III4 and Mary Elizabeth (Buchanan) Elkins were: •ELIJAH ELKINS5 born: 1760 at Henry Co., VA; died: 1850 at Lee Co., VA; married 1789 in Montgomery Co. to Jerusha Booth-- born: 1771 in New York; died 1856 in Wise Co., VA •DRURY ELKINS5 born: **1761-1764 in Montgomery Co., VA; died: 1840s in Jackson Co., IN; married Margaret •DANIEL ELKINS5 •ZACHARIAH ELKINS5 born: 1764-1766 in Montgomery Co., VA; married Rachel Ann Smith •RICHARD ELKINS5 born 1768-1770 in Montgomery Co., died: March 26, 1854; Married: Nancy Leslie McGuire, a widow, Dec. 4, 1787 Montgomery Co., VA 
•WILLIAM ELKINS5 born: abt. 1772; married: Ann Smith •MARVIL ELKINS5 born: 1755-1780; died 1828; married Nancy Sharp 1800 RECORDS: *1690 Sept. 6th - Stafford County, VA. RALPH ELKIN will probated Sept 6, 1690. (EE Vol. III No 3 page 85, Sep 1988 - In Casey's book he states that Ralph Elkin died intestate, however from Jack Elkins, See Vol. I, No 2 p54, He states will dated March 1690, probated Sept. 1690, son Richard was administrator. "1690 will of Ralph Elkins, probated Sep 6th, Richard administers his estate. He gives his sons Richard and Nathaniel land with houses, horses, barns, etc." per Jack Elkins. **1761-1764 County Unknown - Correspondence and census records of Indiana, Kentucky, etc., Drury Elkins, born in Virginia and his probable father is Richard Elkins of Montgomery Co., VA. Drury and wife Margaret come to Clark Co., KY. ca 1790s then on to Pulaski County, KY by 1802 (per tax records, Pulaski Co), son William, born c1797. There is a Drury Elkins living next door to Richard Elkins Sr., Richard Elkins Jr. and Zachariah Elkins, in 1789 Montgomery Co., VA. We find Drury Elkins in Jackson Co., IN. living close to his sons Jesse & William Elkins in 1830 and by son, Jesse in 1840. He isn't found in 1850 so assume he died c1840s. 1763 Index to Land Entries - Pittsylvania Co., VA. Richard Elkins (no page number here) 1767 HISTORY OF PITTSYLVANIA CO.

(Vol IV No 4 page 102) REICHARD ELKIN JOHN (of Richard) ELKIN (3) 1771 Botetourt County, VA - list of titheables, Lower District of New River: Richard Elkins NOTES: "Barbara Martin Thompson believes Richard III4 was on the 1788 & 1789 Montgomery County, Virginia tax list as Richard, Sr. In 1801, he was in Tazewell County, Virginia and was exempted from paying taxes because of `bodily infirmity and old age'" From this, Mrs. Thompson believed Richard Sr. to be in his 60's or 70's, thus her speculation on his birth years. In her research, she found that two Elkins men (Ralph & Archibald) were the first of that surname to be found in the once gigantic Montgomery County. It took in all of 13 existing counties in southwest Virginia and modern West Virginia. This giant Montgomery County also took in parts of the West Virginia counties of Mingo, Boone, Logan, Kanawha and Fayette. These two men were found in the 1782 Montgomery County TAX List. This Ralph & Archibald are believed to be brothers of our own Richard Elkins Sr. (all speculation). In the early Virginia records, there are so many references to men named Richard, Ralph, Nathaniel, Archibald, William, John, James, and what appear to be brothers renaming their sons after their own brothers and uncles, it becomes mind boggling. Knowing that in the earlier times discussed here, a younger man called Elkins, Jr., may or may not be a son of an Elkins Sr. Why? Because it was customary then to distinguish a younger "relative" within a family "clan" as Jr. to help keep track of whether you mean "the elder" or "the younger." Sometimes the relationship is father-son, or uncle-nephew, or uncle-grand nephew, or elder cousin- younger cousin, or grandpa-grandson. One speculation that looks "pretty solid" is that we all descend from England born: Ralph Elkins, sr. who first came to Virginia in 1657 and along with 6 other persons was granted 350 acres of land in James City County, Virginia on the north side of the James River {Vol.1 patent Book #4, page 168}. MAP: Pittsylvania County was named in honor of William Pitt, earl of Chatham, a great English statesman. It was formed from Halifax County in 1766.
