Old Elderkin Family Bible
Among old storage boxes I recently discovered an old (printed 1884) large format family bible. On the presentation page: “Presented toWilliam (H. H. or W. H.?) Elderkin by ?nnie M. Elderkin in … 188(6?).” In the 1950’s or ‘60’s it was in possession of my mother in Daleville, IN. There are no Elderkin connections in my family and it may have been given her (a minister’s widow) as a curiosity. On a single sheet of note paper inserted in the interior pages I found a hand writen family record listing 13 children of “John Eldirkin Born April 22,1(7)87, Esther Elderkin Wife to John Elderkin, Born 1800, Married Nov 12th 1816.” I could send images of the page to an email address of those interested.
