John and Reuben ELBIN
FInally - an ELBIN GenForum!I have not come across many others researching this surname, and looks like I get to be the first to post here....
I'm trying to distinguish between the two John ELBINs in the late 1790's/early 1800's, one in Allegany Co., MD, the other in Bedford Co., PA.I know that one of them fought in the Rev. War.
There is a John T. ELBIN, born in 1824 in Allegany Co., MD, who was orphaned and went to live with his grandfather, John ELBIN, in Greene Co., PA.He resided there until his death in 1907.Does anyone know how he fits in with the others?Where was this grandfather prior to 1840?He must've been one of those in either Bedford or Allegany???Don't know.
Also, there's a Reuben ELBIN in Flintstone, MD from 1820 through at least 1840.He could possibly be my gggg grandfather, but I have yet to determine where/how he fits in with these other ELBINs.I do know he had at least two sons - William and Henry B.Then, there appears to be another Henry B. ELBIN in Bedford Co., PA.What's up with that?A clue to the linkage between all of these ELBINs?
Does anyone know the origin of the town of Elbinsville, PA?Awhile back, can't remember where, I read a comment that the ELBINs "died out".Was there some catastrophe or did they simply not have a lot of children to carry on the name?There certainly are not many of them around today as well.
SOOO many questions!I'd love to hear from anyone who might have some answers...or even some more questions.:)
