Individual Notes
• John Elderkin, the only one of the name, so far as known, to come to this country, and the progenitor of all who bear the name here, was born in England about the year 1612. Prof. Melville M. Bigelow, of Cambridge, Mass., one of his descendants, puts the date of his birth at 1616. In a deposition in court, in 1672, John Elderkin said he was 56 years old. This would seem to be conclusive as to the year of his birth. From whence in England he came is unknown, but Mr. Thomas Elderkin, of Manchester, Eng., under date of June 12th, 1894, says that the Elderkins came from the Fenns, Lincolnshire. The Elderkins are known in Northunberlandshire history, and were probably one of the English and Scottish border families.2856, pp 1-2
