Descendants of John Plinn Elderkin


Generation No. 1

1. JOHN PLINN ELDERKIN was born Abt. 1815 in Syracuse, Onadaga Co, New York. He married MELISSA GILBERT 1836. She was born Abt. 1820.

Notes for JOHN PLINN ELDERKIN:
The 1850 Federal Census for Wood Co., OH shows the following for John P. Elderkin:

John P. Elderkin, 35, b. NY, carpenter
M--- (can't read name) Elderkin, 30, b. NY
Samantha Elderkin, 13, b. NY, at school
Mary Elderkin, 9, b. OH, at school
John Elderkin, 8, b. OH, at school
Hellen Elderkin, 6, b. OH
James K. Elderkin, 4, b. OH
Willard Elderkin, 9 mos., b. OH
Charles E. Ellis, 18, b. Canada, laborer

It appears that John P. may have married a second time. The 1880 census for Fremont, Sandusky Co., OH shows:

John P. Elderkin, 65, b. NY, father b. CT, mother b. CT, occupation architect
Isabelle Elderkin, wife, 30, b. Canada, father b. Scotland, mother b. Scotland, occupation keeps house

Also in Fremont, Sandusky Co. in 1880 were a John P. and James K. (the latter living in his brother John P.'s household) whom I take to be the sons of the senior John P.:

John P. Elderkin, 38, b. OH, father b. NY, mother b. NY, occupation clerk
Lucy A. Elderkin, wife, 29, b. OH, father b. NY, mother b. NY, occupation keeps house
Nellie H. Elderkin, 9, dtr., b. OH, father b. OH, mother b. OH
Lizzie B. Elderkin, 7, dtr., b. OH, father b. OH, mother b. OH
Alfred R. Elderkin, son, 5, b. OH, father b. OH, mother b. OH
James K. Elderkin, brother, 32, b. OH, father b. OH, mother b. OH, occupation lawyer
also in the household are three apparently unrelated individuals.
