To ALL Elkins researchers: >From the book, The New River Early Settlement by Patricia Givens Johnson, Chapter 17, The Long Hunters. The Wallens, Blevins, Coxes and others lived as squatters in western Pittgylvania (later Henry County) on land owned by speculators. 1767 Pittsylvania County tithables, later New River hun? were John Ward, Joseph, Thomasand Elisha Wallen, John Rowland and Nathaniel Judd, Thomas, Charles, Richard Calloway ( they were in Boonsborough (lz), Charles Scaggs and the Elkins brothers, Ralph, Jesse, Richard and Nathaniel A good long hunter could bring back skins worth nearly seventeen hundred pounds, an immense sum. They departed the first of October and returned the first of April. I think that is why James Elkins was a Indian Spy ranger in Revolutionary War because he knew about the Indians. Hope some of these names are familiar to you all. Linda Z. from Okla.
