Notes for Elisha ADKINS Snr

Elisha was one of the ADKINS men that left Pike County, KY, for Morgan County, KY. He was listed in the 1850 Morgan County census records but was back in Pike County in 1860. He was shown in the 1870 and 1880 Floyd County census records, indicating that he died some time after 1880. [55]

Notes for Delilah 'Lila' BONER

There is some confusion regarding the name - Delilah, Delia, or Della - in Daniels′ records. I am pretty certain the different records are the same person because they are given with the same parentage. [Webmaster]
